Arima will direct the Atlanta engagement, with Knechtges directing in Philadelphia, and Lenz in Omaha.

The faculty roster for the summer will include Nicholas Rodriguez, Tituss Burgess, Craig D’Amico, Quentin Earl Darrington, Traci Jai Edwards, Jarrod Emick, Eden Espinosa, Meg Gillentine, Deidre Goodwin, Tyler Hanes, Nikki Snelson, casting directors Craig Burns and Rachel Hoffman, along with BDF’s Executive Director Annette Tanner and Creative Producer Paul Canaan.
