Casting has been announced for the world premiere of Alena Smith’s The Bad Guys, which begins performances May 22 at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre on the Upper West Side. The play, part of the Second Stage Theatre Uptown Series, will open on June 4. Hal Brooks directs.
The Bad Guys will feature Michael Braun (War Horse), Roe Hartrampf (Unnatural Acts), James McMenamin (Suicide, Incorporated), Tobias Segal (The Miracle Worker) and Raviv Ullman (Russian Transport).
Five childhood buddies reunite on a late summer afternoon for some beer, grilling and weed, but deep within their friendship lurk ghosts that rock the patio beneath them. This is the story of a generation at war with itself over what it means to “man up.”
The Bad Guys features scenic design by Jason Simms, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Seth Reiser, and sound design by Ryan Rummery.
