Kellie Overbey, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Jeremy Shamos star in the work which began previews July 14 at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre. Giovanna Sardelli directs. Opening is Aug. 4.

"When a world renowned origami artist opens her studio to a teenage prodigy and his school teacher," as show notes reveal, "she finds that life and love can't be neatly arranged in this drama about finding the perfect fold."

Ambudkar's credits include Rafta Rafta and The Me Nobody Knows, Overbey appeared in Good Boys and True and The Coast of Utopia and Shamos was seen in Reckless, 100 Saints You Should Know and The Rivals.

The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (scenic), Amy Clark (costume), Josh Bradford (lighting) and Bart Fasbender (sound).
