On September 10 at 2pm, Blum and Zarish — who are married in real life and recently co-starred in the Old Globe Theatre’s production of The Sisters Rosensweig — will appear in a reading of Richard Dresser’s new play The Pursuit of Happiness.

On October 13-14, Sloane Shelton will star in a workshop production of Jan Buckaloo’s Eudora Welty, to be directed by Austin Pendleton. Shelton has appeared in numerous Broadway shows over the past five decades, including A Touch of the Poet, I Never Sang for My Father, The Runner Stumbles, and Orpheus Descending.
