Shakespeare Theatre Company will welcome the public at free, open rehearsals for its production of Design for Living on May 2, with seating available for 3 pm, 4:30 pm, 6 pm and 7:30 pm at the Lansburgh Theatre.

The play follows three glamorous Bohemians -- Otto, Leo and Gilda -- as they fall in and out of love with each other. Michael Kahn directs a cast led by Gretchen Egolf as Gilda, Tom Story as Otto, Robert Sella as Leo, and Kevin Hogan as Ernest, with Sherri L. Edelen, Catherine Flye, Rebecca Kaasa, Todd Scofield, and Richard Thieriot.

The creative team will include James Noone (set), Robert Perdziola (costumes), Mark McCullough (lighting), and Martin Desjardins (sound).
