Additional casting and creative team will be announced for the Scott Schwartz-directed revivals of the related plays, based on Simon's coming-of-age in Brooklyn in the mid-20th-century. (These productions are not related to the 2009 Broadway revivals of the works, which closed prematurely.)

Ziemba previously appeared at the Globe in Six Degrees of Separation and in last season's world premiere of The First Wives Club – A New Musical. She won her Tony for Contact.

Brighton Beach Memoirs and Broadway Bound will be performed in repertory in the Old Globe Theatre Sept. 14-Nov. 7.

Tickets are currently available by subscription only. Visit www.TheOldGlobe.org.
