Other Prayer for My Enemy stars expected to attend the Dec. 12 "After Party" include Tony winners Victoria Clark and Michele Pawk as well as Cassie Beck and Zachary Booth.

Hosted by Brandon Cutrell and Alysha Umphress, "The After Party" at the Laurie Beechman Theatre features Ray Fellman at the piano. Amateurs and professionals are invited to take turns at the open mic during the "Party," which begins at 10:30 PM and continues to 2 AM.
