The Goodman Theatre has announced full casting for its David Cromer-helmed revival of Sweet Bird of Youth, to be presented September 14-October 25, with an opening on September 24.

Tennessee Williams’ 1959 play centers on Alexandra del Lago, an aging Hollywood screen siren on a journey with an unlikely soul mate, Chance Wayne, an ineffectual drifter whose youth and promise have begun to fade.

As previously announced, the production will star Diane Lane and Finn Wittrock as Alexandra and Chance, respectively.

The cast will also feature John Byrnes as Dan Hatcher, Sean Cooper as the Heckler, Maggie Corbett as Edna, Jennifer Engstrom as Miss Lucy, Peter Fitzsimmons as Scotty, Kristina Johnson as Heavenly Finley, John Judd as Boss Finley, Colm O’Reilly as George Scudder, Tyler Ravelson as Stuff, Penny Slusher as Aunt Nonnie, D’Wayne Taylor as Charles, Vincent Teninty as Tom Jr., Dan Waller as Bud, R. Charles Wilkerson as Fly, and Kara Zediker as Violet.

The creative team will include James Schuette (set and costume designer), Keith Parham
(lighting designer), Josh Schmidt (sound designer and composer), Maya Ciarrocchi (projections) Kate Devore (dialect and vocal coach), David Woolley (fight choreographer) and Neena Arndt (dramaturg).
