The show is set to begin performances September 4 for a limited engagement through September 18 at Theatre at St. Clement's. Opening night is September 8.

Edwin commemorates the 150th Anniversary (1866-2016) of the legendary actor’s return to the stage after his brother assassinated President Lincoln as well as the 400th Anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare.

Directed by Christopher Scott, the cast features Dana Watkins as Edwin Booth, with Adam Bashian, Paul DeBoy, Todd Lawson, Deanne Lorette, Ben Mayne, and Patricia Noonan.

The production team includes Chad McArver (scenic/lighting design) and David Zyla (costume design).
