Amari Cheatom (Signature's Zooman and the Sign) and John Doman ("The Wire") will join the previously announced Elizabeth Marvel (Top Girls, Seascape), who will star in the title role. James Macdonald, who staged Caryl Churchill's Drunk Enough to Say I Love You? at the Public and also directed Marvel in Top Girls on Broadway, will direct. The Book of Grace, according to press notes, is "a family portrait shattered by issues of rage, revenge, power and betrayal. When a young man returns home to South Texas to confront his father, everyday life erupts into a battle for personal survival. At once fiercely intimate and explosive, The Book of Grace weaves the story of three people bound together by love and longing, passion and ambition."

The production will officially open March 16 and continue through April 4.
