Hartford Stage artistic Michael Wilson, who staged Shinn's What Didn't Happen at Playwrights Horizons and the Broadway production of Horton Foote's Dividing the Estate, will helm the work that will begin previews April 6 and officially open April 20. The run is scheduled through May 15.

In addition to Stahl-David (The Overwhelming, "Cloverfield"), the cast will feature Mark Blum (The Long Christmas Ride Home, Twelve Angry Men), Donna Hanover (The Vagina Monologues), Tom Lipinski (A Light Lunch) and Liz Stauber (Where Do We Live).

According to the Vineyard, "Picked concerns a young actor, played by Michael Stahl-David, who prepares for his life to change when a legendary director casts him as the lead in a big-budget Hollywood movie. But he is not prepared for what comes next, and everything he knows about himself will be called into question as he discovers what it means to be 'picked.'"

The premiere will have set design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Mattie Ullrich, lighting design by Russell Champa and sound design by Jill BC DuBoff.

Shinn's plays include Dying City, a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, along with Four, Other People, The Coming World and Now Or Later.
