Quincy Tyler Bernstine and Sami Gayle will join the previously announced Kathleen Chalfant and Rosemarie DeWitt in MCC Theater’s production of Beth Henley’s Family Week, to play the Lucille Lortel Theatre, April 7-May 23, with an opening set for April 26. Jonathan Demme will direct.

The play focuses on a woman who checks into a recovery center in the desert, searching for a way to cope after the death of her son, and the effects of her family’s visits to her while she is at the center.

Bernstine, who will play Rickey, recently appeared on Broadway in the Lincoln Center production of In the Next Room or the vibrator play, and received Obie, Clarence Derwent, and Audelco Awards for her performance in Ruined. Gayle, who will play Kay, played Baby June in the recent Broadway revival of Gypsy, with other credits including Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical on Broadway and Oohrah! Off-Broadway.
