Casting information has been announced for the Chicago DCA Theater production of Captain Marbles and his Acting Squad, November 1-December 14, with Tim Gregory at the helm.

The piece follows the adventures of The Marble Squad (an Astronaut, a Ballerina, a Witch, and other friends) as they act, dance and sing, led by a Captain who perpetually loses his fuzzy red marbles. The cast will feature Christine Barnes, David Dastmalchian, Sean Fawcett, Govind Kumar, Dan Loftus, Dana Tretta, and Alaric Jans.

Originally created in 1964, and revised in the 1980s, creators Alaric Jans, David Kovacs, and William H. Macy have reunited and revamped Captain Marbles and his Acting Squad for a new generation and a planned off-Broadway production in 2009.
