Jason Odell Williams' play Church & State will end its run at New World Stages on Sunday, June 4.

As previously announced, Megan Sikora (Holiday Inn) and Andy Talen (The Tempest) will join the cast alongside current cast members Rob Nagle (Castle) and Christa Scott-Reed (The Pitman Painters), with Sikora joining on May 26 and Talen on May 29. They take over the roles originally played by Nadia Bowers and Jonathan Louis Dent.

Church & State is described as a "fast-paced, seriously funny take on faith, politics, and 'The Twitter.' It's three days before Charles Whitmore's Senate reelection, and he's decided to finally tell the public exactly what's on his mind, no filter. What could possibly go wrong?"

Directed by Markus Potter, the creative team includes David Goldstein (scenic design), Burke Brown (lighting design), Dianne K. Graebner (costume design), and Erik T. Lawson (sound design).
