Sahr Ngaujah, soon to be reprise his acclaimed off-Broadway performance in Fela! The Musical on Broadway, and Birgit Huppuch, seen last season off-Broadway in Telephone, have joined the cast of Jason Williamson’s Ether Steeds. These two Obie Award-winning artists will begin performances in this FringeNYC production on August 16.

The play, about a mother and daughter in coastal North Carolina, will be directed by Niegel Smith, who staged Rainy Days and Mondays for last year’s fringe festival. Williamson’s Secrets Of Lamp Lit Blinds was also produced at FringeNYC last year. His plays have also been seen at Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, Carnegie Mellon, the O’Neill Conference, NC Theatre Conference and The Kennedy Center, among others.
