Tony winner Harriet Harris (Thoroughly Modern Millie), Looking's Chris Perfetti, and three-time Tony nominee Kevin Chamberlin are part of the cast of Pulitzer winner Bruce Norris' The Low Road, which examines the beginning of capitalism in America. The epic new drama, which will feature a cast of 17 playing a total of 50 roles, will make its American debut at the Public Theater this winter.

The production will feature scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Ben Stanton, sound design by Matt Tierney, wig, hair, and make-up design by design J. Jared Janas and Dave Bova, and music composition by Mark Bennett.
