Full cast and creative team have been announced for Robert Cary and Benjamin Feldman’s Inventing Avi, to play at the Abingdon Theatre Company, October 2-November 1. Mark Waldrop will direct the production.

The play focuses on two sisters — one a producer and one a diva – who attempt to bring a play from a Israeli author to the stage. The cast will include Alix Korey, Emily Zacharias, Stanley Bahorek, Havilah Brewster, Lori Gardner, and Juri Henley-Cohn. The production will feature set design by Ray Klausen, costume design by Matthew Hemesath, lighting design by Brian Nason, and sound design by David Margolin.

The company’s season will also include Jan Buttram’s Phantom Killer (January 22-February 14), about newlyweds who find themselves embroiled in a hunt for a serial killer; John Morogiello’s Engaging Shaw (April 9-May 2), which focuses on the real-life relationship between socialite Charlotte Payne-Townsend and playwright George Bernard Shaw; and Stephen Swift’s Sister Myotis’s Bible Camp (June 11-July 4), which centers on the work of the head deaconess of a mega-church at an annual retreat for women.
