Soho Rep has announced casting for Christopher Chen's Passage, running April 23-May 26 under Saheem Ali's direction.

Passage will feature Andrea Abello, Purva Bedi, Yair Ben-Dor, Lizan Mitchell, K.K. Moggie, Howard W. Overshown, Linda Powell, and David Ryan Smith. The creative team includes Arnulfo Maldonado (sets), Toni-Leslie James (costumes), Amith Chandrashaker (lighting), Mikaal Sulaiman (sound), and Ryan Courtney (props).

A fantasia on colonialism past and present, Passage asks the question "if Country Y occupies Country X, can someone from Country X and someone from Country Y ever form a mutual relationship?"
