Eddie and Dave begins previews January 10, 2019, ahead of a January 22 opening and will run through February 10, 2019, at Atlantic Stage 2.

Joining Staats in the cast will be Vanessa Aspillaga (Amy and the Orphans), Megan Hill (Do You Feel Anger), Omer Abbas Salem, and Adina Verson (Indecent).
The creative team includes scenic design by Reid Thompson, costume design by Montana Levi Blanco, lighting design by Jiyoun Chang, sound design by Palmer Hefferan, original compositions by Michael Thurber, and projections by Shawn Boyle. Casting is by Caparelliotis Casting: Lauren Port, CSA.
