Complete casting has been announced for the new play Whorl Inside A Loop, written by Dick Scanlan and Sherie Rene Scott, and directed by Michael Mayer and Scanlan. Performances will begin at Second Stage Theatre will begin August 4.

Previously announced star Sherie Rene Scott will be joined by Derrick Baskin (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Nicholas Christopher (Motown), Chris Myers (Soho Rep.'s An Octoroon), Ryan Quinn (King Lear), Daniel J. Watts (In the Heights), and Donald Webber Jr. (Motown).

In the play, a well-regarded actress agrees to teach six inmates how to tell their stories while behind bars. Sharing intimate and sometimes hilarious details of their former lives, this unlikely group forms a bond — even as the actress’ life outside spins out of control. And when what happens in prison doesn't stay there, no one is sure whom to trust.
