The cast will feature Christine Toy Johnson, Antoinette LaVecchia, Richard Topol, Victor Williams, Nikkole Salter, Elizabeth Van Dyke and Ami Brabson.

In Tough Titty, according to press notes, a "woman's breast cancer diagnosis propels her on a journey of self-discovery… When Angela's routine cannot keep breast cancer at bay, she must learn to face the disease, her family and her community with equal doses of tenacity and humor. Richly emotional, Tough Titty is a boisterous exploration of one woman's willful search for grace."

The play premiered at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and made Ms. Lampley a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Award.

The creative team also includes Brooke Cohen (costume design), Aaron Porter (lighting design), Jason Sherwood (set design), Beth Lake (sound design), Alanna Maniscalco (props master), Allison Bressi (line producer), Aneesha Kudatarkar (assistant director), Jenney Shamash (assistant producer), Michelle Heller (production stage manager), Kryssa Bowman (assistant stage manager), Jeff Englander (lighting programmer), Abigail Rose Solomon (marketing) and Eric Emch (show artwork).

Show times will be Wednesday-Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 7 PM with an additional show May 5 at 8 PM.

Paradise Factory is located at 64 East 4th Street. Tickets are $18 and can be purchased online at www.SmartTix.com or by phone at (212) 868-4444.
