The tale of a prep school scandal will also feature Stephen Louis Grush, Nick Horst, Mark Minton, Kelly O'Sullivan, John Procaccino, Tim Rock and Kelli Simpkins.

According to Steppenwolf production notes, "Brandon Hardy is brilliant, athletic and charming, the kind of young man that makes St. Joe's Preparatory School proud. When the Ivy League-bound senior becomes the center of a scandal that threatens to destroy his future, his mother must sort fact from fiction."

Playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama who has been regularly produced in recent years. His works include Based on a Totally True Story, Dark Matters and Say You Love Satan. He is also known for his work on the Marvel comic books "Fantastic Four" and "The Sensational Spider-Man."

She's appeared in Steppenwolf's Lost Land, The Memory of Water and I Never Sang For My Father, among many other productions. The creative team for Good Boys and True includes scenic designer Todd Rosenthal, costume designer Nan Cibula-Jenkins, lighting desigber Ann Wrightston, sound designer Rob Milburn & Michael Bodeen and stage manager Christine D. Freeburg.
