The cast will feature Richard Chamberlain, Brooke Shields, David Wilson Barnes, Harry Groener, Emily Yetter, Stephen Bogardus, Manoel Felciano, Tom Nelis, and Roslyn Ruff.
Pielemeier is best known for his play, Agnes of God. Doyle’s many directorial credits include Company, Sweeney Todd, A Catered Affair, Road Show, and Merrily We Roll Along.
