West Coast Ensemble will present the West Coast premiere of Anita Bryant Died for Your Sins, written by Brian Christopher Williams and directed by Richard Israel, to play El Centro Theatre, in Hollywood, August 19-October 4, with an opening set for August 21.

The cast will include Nick Ballard, Madelynn Fattibene, Wyatt Fenner, Nick Niven, Sean Owens, Tony Pandolfo, Jan Sheldrick, Sara J. Stuckey. The creative team will feature Stephen Gifford (set), Lisa D. Katz (lighting), Susanne Klein (costumes), and Fionnegan Justus Murphy (sound).
