The cast of the Roundabout Underground world-premiere production of Little Children Dream of God, written by Jeff Augustin and directed by Giovanna Sardelli, met the press at their rehearsal studio on January 8.

Featured in the company are Gilbert Cruz (Manuel), Dashiell Eaves (Trevor), Carl Hendrick Louis (Toussaint and Man), Maurice Jones (Joel), Chris Myers (Vishal), Deirdre O’Connell (Carolyn), Carra Patterson (Sula), and Crystal Lucas-Perry (Madison).

The play follows a soon-to-be mother, Sula, who has braved a perilous journey to the shores of Miami to escape her native Haiti. Determined to forge a better life for herself and her unborn son in America, Sula finds safety in an apartment building that shelters refugees in need.

Little Children Dream of God begins previews January 22 in advance of an official February 17 opening, and will run through April 5. Performances will be held at Roundabout's 62-seat Black Box Theatre, at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
