Full casting has been announced for Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming production of Emmy nominee Nick Jones' Important Hats of the Twentieth Century, beginning performances November 10 at MTC's Studio at Stage II.

Directed by Jones' Tony-nominated frequent collaborator, Moritz von Stuelpnagel (Hand to God), the play explores the rivalry between a pair of fashion designers in 1930s New York and how far one will go when the other starts releasing garments like "sweatshirts" and "tracksuits." Jones' stageworks also include The Coward, Verité, and Jollyship the Whiz-Bang.

The full company includes Remy Auberjonois (Death of a Salesman), Jon Bass (The Book of Mormon), John Behlmann (Significant Other), Reed Campbell (The Comedy of Errors), Carson Elrod (The Explorers Club), Maria Elena Ramirez (Fish in the Dark), Matthew Saldivar (Honeymoon in Vegas), Triney Sandoval (A Free Man of Color), and Henry Vick (When the Rain Stops Falling).

The creative team for Important Hats of the Twentieth Century will feature Timothy R. Mackabee (scenic design), Jennifer Moeller (costume design), Jason Lyons (lighting design), Palmer Hefferan (original music and sound design), and Robert Westley (fight director).
