Duffy is perhaps best known from her work on television's Newhart and Designing Women. Among her stage credits are Once in a Lifetime opposite John Lithgow and Treat Williams on Broadway and last year's revival of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes at the Pasadena Playhouse.

The creative team will include Kurt Boetcher (scenic design), Christie Wright (lighting design), Doug Newell (sound design), and Leah Piehl (costume design).
