Lincoln Center Theater has announced its upcoming production of The Coast Starlight, a new play by Keith Bunin, directed by Tyne Rafaeli. Performances will begin February 16 ahead of a March 13 opening at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.

In Bunin's new play, a young man armed with a secret that can land him in terrible trouble boards the Coast Starlight, the long-distance train that runs from Los Angeles to Seattle. With the help of his fellow travelers, all of whom are reckoning with their own choices, he has roughly one thousand miles to figure out a way forward.

The cast of The Coast Starlight features Mia Barron (The Wolves), Camila Canó-Flaviá (Network), Rhys Coiro (Dinner at Eight), Will Harrison (New York theater debut), Jon Norman Schneider (The Oldest Boy), and Tony nominee Michelle Wilson (Sweat).

The production will have sets by Arnulfo Maldonado, costumes by Ásta Bennie Hostetter, lighting by Lap Chi Chu, original music and sound by Daniel Kluger, and projections by 59 Productions. Melissa Chácon is the Stage Manager.
