Hunter Foster and Richard Masur will co-star in the production, which will officially open Dec. 4. Scott Zigler directs. The cast will also include Laura E. Campbell, Curtis McClarin and John Schiappa.

Dust, according to press notes, is a "power play. One man is an executive with money and a paunch. The other is an ex-con with street smarts and a minimum-wage position. One man says 'jump.' The other won't say 'how high,' but defiantly asks 'why?' What starts off as a battle of wills over who will do the dusting escalates into a war for respect, the upper hand and survival. Who will be standing when the dust settles?"

The production will feature scenic design by Caleb Wertenbaker, costume design by Theresa Squire and lighting design by Charles Foster. Roger Alan Gindi and Cassidy Productions produce.

Show times will be Tuesday-Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 3 and 8 PM and Sunday at 3 and 7 PM.
