"This devilishly funny play," press notes state, "follows the Cavendishes, the famous family of stage stars, as they go about the drama of the day: choosing scripts, dashing off to a performance, and stealing kisses with handsome beaus. But what’s this business about the younger Miss Cavendish wanting to quit the stage for domestic bliss? Never, darling!"

The creative team will include John Lee Beatty (scenic design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Kenneth Posner (lighting design), Darron L West (sound design), Maury Yeston (original music), Tom Watson (hair and wig Design) and Rick Sordelet (fight director).

Gasteyer previously appeared in MTC's 2003 production of David Lindsay-Abaire's Kimberly Akimbo.
