Among the first nighters who attended an afterparty at the National Arts Club were playwright and screenwriter Jonathan Tolins, and actresses Annie Golden and Annaleigh Ashford.

The cast features Steve French, Celisse Henderson, Hannah Laird, Chesney Snow, Graham Stevens, Denise Summerford, and Tommar Wilson.
