The 2017 revival of James McLure's comedy Lone Star, starring Matt de Rogatis, will return off-Broadway, running for eight performances at the 13th Street Repertory Theatre June 6-16.

De Rogatis will return as Roy. The run will feature the all-female band the Chalks, which is made up of Mary Brienza, Kathryn Markey, and Broadway actor Leenya Rideout (August Rush: The Musical). During the run's second week, Rideout will be featured as a solo performer in the bar.

The rest of the cast will include Chris Loupos (Ray) and Michael Villastrigo (Cletis), with Tony Del Bono and John Constantine as the club muscle.

Directed by Joe John Battista, the creative team will include Kerielle Sollecito (production design), Allison Hohman (lighting), Wendy Tonken (costume consultant), and Roslyn McKay (production coordinator).
