The New Group and Vineyard Theatre have announced additional casting for Jeremy O. Harris's "Daddy," with Tommy Dorfman, Kahyun Kim, Hari Nef, Ronald Peet, and Charlayne Woodard joining Alan Cumming in this world premiere production directed by Danya Taymor. Previews begin February 12 in advance of an official opening night on March 5. A limited off-Broadway engagement is slated through March 31 at the Pershing Square Signature Center.

In the play, Franklin (Ronald Peet), "a young black artist on the verge of his first show, meets Andre (Alan Cumming), an older white art collector, and before long their feverish link deepens into an irresistible bond. But when Franklin's Christian mother decides that her son is in peril, she enters into a battle of wills with Andre over the soul of the man they both call baby."

The creative team feature costume design by Montana Levi Blanco, lighting design by Isabella Byrd, sound design by Lee Kinney, and casting by Judy Henderson.
