Culp ("Desperate Housewives") will play Biff, with Sloan (King Lear) as Happy. The cast will also feature Maureen Flannigan, Jason Henning, Sam McMurray, Kathryn Meisle, Tim Monsion, Kate Steele and Kenneth Williams.

As previously reported, Keach, who recently starred in Jon Robin Baitz's latest play, Other Desert Cities, at Lincoln Center Theater, will step into the role of Willy Loman opposite Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm in the Middle") as Linda.

Eric Simonson will direct the production that will run March 16-20 at the Skirball Cultural Center.

Simonson, a Steppenwolf Theatre Company member, is currently represented on Broadway with the football-centered play Lombardi. It was announced Feb. 17 that Magic/Bird, his account of the relationship between basketball players Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, will arrive on Broadway in 2012.

All productions are recorded and broadcast on LATW's nationally syndicated radio theatre series, "The Play's the Thing."
