Authored by Randy Weiner and Classical Theatre of Harlem artistic director Alfred Preisser, who also directs, the comedy officially opens June 25 and will run through July 19 at the Clurman Theater in midtown.

In addition to De Shields (Impressionism, Prymate), the cast includes Ted Lange ("The Love Boat"), Kim Brockington (Angela's Mixtape), Jennifer Akabue, Gerron Atkinson, Jabari Brisport, Tyrone Davis, Soneelea Nankani, Gina Marie Rivera, Charletta Rozzell, Lawrence Street, Kisa Willis and Reji Woods.

Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe, according to press notes, "is an original play with music, inspired by Molière's great comic classic and informed by the gloriously unorthodox ministries of Reverend Ike, Daddy Grace, and Rasputin. Set within a fabulously theatrical Harlem Renaissance-era 'church,' the play explores the outrageously creative criminal mind of the title character through a series of songs, dances, sermons and feats of divine inspiration."

For tickets, priced $51.25, phone (212) 279-4200 or visit Ticketcentral. The Clurman Theater is located at 410 West 42nd Street in Manhattan.
