Presented by stageFARM and directed by Trip Cullman, the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize winner will officially open March 1. The cast comprises Tanya Fischer, Logan Marshall-Green, Rebecca Henderson, Lisa Joyce, James Martinez, Lucas Papaelias, Matthew Stadelmann and Audrey Lynn Weston.
U.S. Drag, according to press notes, "is a dark comedy about two recent college grads on the hunt for love, money, meaning, and Ed – New York's most elusive serial attacker."
The creative team includes Sandra Goldmark (sets), Nicole Pearce (lighting), Emily Rebholz (costumes), Bart Fasbender (sound) and John McDermott (props).

After Ashley premiered in the 2004 Humana Festival and was subsequently produced Off-Broadway at The Vineyard Theatre. Gionfriddo has received an Obie Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
