Tickets are now available to see Karen Pittman and more in the world premiere of Fernanda Coppel’s King Liz. The Second Stage Theatre Uptown production will play the McGinn/Cazale Theatre beginning July 13 and run through August 8. Opening night is set for July 27. Lisa Peterson will direct.
King Liz follows Liz Rico (Pittman), a sports agent who, despite money and an elite client roster, must work twice as hard to stay on top in an industry dominated by men. When Freddie Luna, a high school basketball star with a troubled past enters, she seizes the opportunity to skyrocket his career as well as her own.
Pittman will be joined by Jeremie Harris as Freddie Luna, Michael Cullen as Mr. Candy, Russell G. Jones as Coach Jones, Caroline Lagerfelt as Barbara Flowers and Irene Sofia Lucio as Gabby Fuentes.
