As previously reported, Tony nominee and True Colors artistic director Kenny Leon (The Mountaintop, Stick Fly) will direct the production that runs July 10-29.

Kittles ("Miracle at St. Ana," "Sons of Anarchy") replaces the previously announced Mekhi Phifer (Stick Fly) as  Doctor John Prentice.

Here's how the classic comedy is billed: "Following a life-altering romance, Joey Drayton brings her fiancé, Dr. John Prentice, home to San Francisco to meet her affluent parents. Their liberal persuasions are put to the test when they find out their daughter's fiancé, while an ideal choice – a handsome, wealthy, brilliant, internationally-renown doctor from a respectable family – is also African-American."

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner will have lighting design by Andre C. Allen, costume design by Jonida Beqo, set design by Kat Conley and sound design by Joseph Monaghan III. For tickets phone (404) 532-1901 or visit TrueColorsTheatre.
