Victory Gardens Theater has announced casting for its upcoming world premiere of Hillary and Clinton by Lucas Hnath, directed by artistic director Chay Yew. The play will run from April 1-May 1, with the press performance on April 8.

Hillary and Clinton is described as follows: "Imagine that in an alternate universe, very much like our own, is another world where a woman named Hillary is trying to become president of a country called the United States of America. In a hotel room in New Hampshire in 2008, Hillary is poised to lose her last Primary Election. When her husband Bill arrives in the middle of the night to offer support, he turns the campaign upside down."

The cast of Hillary and Clinton features John Apicella (Bill), Cheryl Lynn Bruce (Hillary), Keith Kupferer (Mark), and Juan Francisco Villa (Other Guy).

The creative team includes William Boles (scenic design), Janice Pytel (costume design), Keith Parham (lighting design), Rick Sims (sound design), Jinni Pike (stage manager), and Isaac Gomez (dramaturgy).
