Atlantic Theater Company has announced casting for the world premiere of Paola Lázaro's Tell Hector I Miss Him, directed by David Mendizábal. The production will begin previews January 11 and officially open January 23 for a limited engagement through February 12 at Atlantic Stage 2.

Tell Hector I Miss Him will feature Victor Almanzar (Between Riverside and Crazy), Sean Carvajal (Water by the Spoonful), Alexander Flores (The Maze Runner), Yadira Guevara-Prip (Mad Dogs), Juan Carlos Hernández (Wait Until Dark), Selenis Leyva (Orange is the New Black), Talene Monahon (Alligator), Flaco Navaja (Blue Bloods), Dascha Polanco (Orange is the New Black), Lisa Ramirez (To the Bone), Luis Vega (Heirloom), and Analisa Velez (The Inheritance).

The new play is described as follows: "You're in Puerto Rico. Old San Juan. You're a tourist, you walk down the stairs of this beautiful old fort built by the Spaniards. When you reach the bottom, you realize you're in a hole. Welcome to ​the basement that lies under the tourism and behind the fort walls. You spend some days there, you don’t want to leave. Oh no, you’re addicted."

Paola Lázaro is Atlantic’s 2016/2017 Tow Playwright-in-Residence, supported generously by The Tow Foundation. Tell Hector I Miss Him is also supported, in part, by the Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation.

The production will feature scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Dede Ayite, lighting design by Eric Southern, and sound design by Jesse Mandapat.
