Manhattan Theatre Club has announced complete casting for its world premiere of Continuity, a new play by Bess Wohl (Small Mouth Sounds), directed by Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown), beginning performances at New York City Center Stage II May 8, with opening night set for May 21.

Max Baker (1984), Jasmine Batchelor (The River), Rosal Colón (Orange Is the New Black), Curran Connor (Pidgeon), Garcia (Tales of the City), Darren Goldstein (The Little Foxes), Alex Hurt (Cardinal) and Megan Ketch (American Gothic) will star. The creative team will include Adam Rigg (scenic design), Brenda Abbandandolo (costume design), Isabella Byrd (lighting design), and Mikaal Sulaiman (sound design).

Continuity is described as follows: "A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. In Continuity, storytelling and science collide with hilarious and devastating consequences. The play asks, 'How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?' and also, 'What's for lunch?'"
