The two plays will run in the Old Globe Theatre to Nov. 7.

The production team includes Ralph Funicello (scenic design), Alejo Vietti (costume design), Matthew McCarthy (lighting design), Paul Peterson (sound design), Michael Holland (original music), Jan Gist (dialect coach) and Diana Moser (stage manager).

Schwartz directed last season's hit Old Globe production of Lost in Yonkers. Brighton Beach Memoirs opens Sept. 22 at 7 PM. Broadway Bound opens on Sept. 24 at 7 PM.
