MCC Theater has announced complete casting for the American premiere of Anna Jordan's Yen. Directed by Trip Cullman, the production will begin performances January 12, ahead of a January 30 opening night. The run is currently scheduled through February 19 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

Joining the previously announced Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) will be stage and screen stars Ari Graynor (The Performers), Stefania LaVie Owen (CW's The Carrie Diaries), and Justice Smith (Netflix's The Get Down).

Yen is described as follows: "Bobbie (Smith) and Hench (Hedges) are home alone. Days are filled by streaming porn, playing video games, watching the world go by. Their mom (Graynor) rarely visits these days, and it's chaos when she does. But when animal-loving neighbor Jenny (Owen) takes an interest in their dog Taliban, the boys discover a world far beyond what they know."
