Steven Culp, Simon Helberg, Jarrett Sleeper Set for LATW’s Dr. Cerberus

Steven Culp, Simon Helberg, and Jarrett Sleeper are set to appear in Los Angeles Theatre Works’ presentation of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Dr. Cerberus, to be presented July 14-18 as part of their “The Play’s The Thing” radio series at the Skirball Cultural Center. Bart DeLorenzo will direct the presentation, which, as previously reported, was to have featured Adam Arkin and JoBeth Williams, who have had to withdraw.

Set in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in the mid-1980s, the play is a coming-of-age story about a geeky, overweight teenager who finds comfort in the horror movies he watches every Saturday at midnight on a black-and-white TV set in his basement. The films are introduced by the enigmatic Doctor Cerberus, and the teen dreams of becoming the TV host’s assistant. Additional casting will be announced shortly.
