The cast will feature Adam Poss (Oedipus), Arturo Soria (Creon), Charin Alvarez (Jocasta), Eddie Torres (Tiresias), Jessie David Perez (Coro), Madrid St. Angelo (Laius), and Steve Casillas (Coro).

The design team will include Kevin Depinet (set design), Jesse Klug (lighting design), Mikhail Fiksel (sound design), and David Hyman (costume design).
