Directed by Giovanna Sardelli, the limited engagement will continue through April 5, 2015, with opening night set for Feb. 17, 2015. All tickets for Roundabout Underground productions are $20.

Here's how the world-premiere work is billed: "On a balmy night in Miami, a soon-to-be mother, Sula, floats ashore on a car tire. Having braved a perilous journey to escape her native Haiti, Sula is determined to forge a better life in America for her unborn son. She soon finds safety in an apartment building that shelters refugees in need, joining a diverse community of immigrants, each with their own unique dreams and dilemmas. But even though the life she has hoped for seems within reach, Sula knows she can't outrun her demons forever. Laced with wisdom, wit and grace, Little Children Dream of God is a timely new drama about learning to start a new life by facing the one you left behind."

The cast and creative team will be announced at a later date.

Little Children Dream of God launches the eighth season of Roundabout Underground, an initiative to introduce and cultivate artists in Roundabout's 62-seat Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street, NYC, NY, 10036).
