The production will be directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

Somerset Maugham, starring Kate Burton, John de Lancie, and Rosalind Ayres (Apil 14-18); Side Man by Warren Leight, starring Edie Falco and Frank Wood (May 12-16); She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith, starring James Marsters and Roy Dotrice (June 16-20); and Doctor Cerberus by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, starring Adam Arkin and JoBeth Williams (July 14-18).
