Directed by Department of Theatre Chair Joan Herrington, the all-student cast includes Sarah Taylor, Alex Karukas, Heather Zurowski, Alex Roggow, Alexa Robbins, Joe Sharkey, Jasmine Rose, Micah Hazel, Paige Larkowski, Curtis Elswick, Dan DuPraw, AC Quagliato and Imari Brown, with stage management by Amanda Calcutt.
