Staged by artistic director Michael Wilson, the co-production with New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse (where it will play in January 2007) runs at the Connecticut stage Aug. 31-Oct. 1. The show officially opens Sept. 8.
Joining Plummer in the ensemble will be Terry Beaver, Jennifer Harmon, Nafe Katter, Stephanie Beatriz, Mateo Gomez, Marta Reiman, Johanna Morrison, Bill Kux, Curtis Billings, Elizabeth Capinera and John Ort.
