Lincoln Center Theater/LCT3 has announced complete casting for the world premiere of Marys Seacole, a new play by Jackie Sibblies Drury and directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz.

As announced, Quincy Tyler Bernstine will lead the cast as Mary, "an ambitious Jamaican woman determined to live a grand life. Her adventures take her across oceans and eras, from a battlefield of the Crimean War to a contemporary nursing home, and many times and places in between."

The production will have sets by Mariana Sanchez, costumes by Kaye Voyce, lighting by Jiyoun Chang, and sound by Palmer Hefferan.
