Jackson Gay directs the work scheduled to open May 28 at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre for a run through June 14. Commissioned by the Time Warner Commissioning Program at Second Stage, Alexander's 10 Things To Do Before I Die centers on "Vida (Belcon), a NYC high school teacher and Nia (Thoms), a once-successful writer…two sisters who couldn't be more different," according to a release. "When a delivery of boxes from their recently deceased father arrives they must reconnect and re-examine their complicated history."

Belcon (Avenue Q) and Thoms (Rent) lead a cast that also features Francois Battiste (The Good Negro), Kyle Beltran (Kingdom) and Dion Graham (Raisin in the Sun).

Alexander has previously penned Sick? (Summer Play Festival), The Etymology of a Bird (Hip Hop Theater Festival) and Blurring Shine (Market Theater, Johannesburg).

Director Gay has staged Carly Mensch's Len, Asleep in Vinyl for Second Stage as well as Jason Grote's Box Americana (O'Neill Playwrights Conference), Wojcieszek's Made in Poland (Play Company), Lucy Thurber's Scarcity and Rolin Jones' The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow (Atlantic Theater Company).

The design team for 10 Things… includes Wilson Chin (scenic), Jenny Mannis (costume), Thomas Dunn (lighting) with Daniel Baker and Aaron Meicht (original music/sound).

This summer's Second Stage Theatre Uptown Series will continue with the world premiere of Lila Rose Kaplan's Wildflower, directed by Giovanna Sardelli, July 13-Aug. 8.
