Others will be: Scott Stoney as Violet’s husband Beverly, Kristie Berger of Chicago, Brian David Evans (who appeared several times on Dave Chappelle’s Comedy Central show), Bill Simmons of Indianapolis, Rainbow Dickerson as the maid Johnna (which she understudied on Broadway), Cincinnati actor Daniel Britt and WSU students Maddie Casto, Chelsey Cavender, Jason David Collins, Kelsey Hopkins, Greg Mallios and Alex Sunderhaus.

Marsha Hanna will co-direct with Stoney. Performances will be Sept. 23-Oct. 10 at WSU.
