Lisa Emery (The Women), Lucy DeVito, Christopher Duva (The Elephant Man), Keira Naughton (The Rivals), and Scott Sowers (Inherit the Wind) will star in the production under the direction of Ensemble Studio artistic director William Carden. Lucy, according to press notes, centers on "Vivian, an anthropologist at the top of her field. She craves solitude -- motherhood was never an option. But when forced to care for her estranged teenage daughter, Lucy, her life is turned upside down. Lucy is autistic...and might be the next step in Vivian's evolution."

The creative team for Lucy includes scenic design by Ryan Kravetz, costume design by Suzanne Chesney, lighting design by Chris Dallos and sound design by David Lawson.

Canadian playwright Damien Atkins is the award-winning author of Miss Chatelaine, Good Mother and Real Live Girl.
