Vassar & New York Stage and Film’s Powerhouse Theater has announced casting for two of its upcoming productions.

Adriane Lenox, de’Adra Aziza, Larry Pine, Adam Rothenberg, Uzo Aduba, and Michael Cummings will star in the world premiere of Tracy Thorne’s We Are Here, to be directed by Sheryl Kaller, June 29-July 11. The play offers a glimpse at three generations of a family, who possess wit, endurance, and compassion in the face of unimaginable loss — and they all sing. The creative team will include Scott Bradley (set), Toni-Leslie James (costumes), Russell H. Champa (lighting), and John Gromada (sound).

Luke MacFarlane will star in Sam Bendrix at the Bon Soir (July 1-3), by Keith Bunin, directed by Mark Rucker, with musical direction by Debra Barsha. The piece offers a sharp and poignant look into the world of 1958 at a Greenwich Village nightclub.
