Mint Theater Company has announced casting for its upcoming New York premiere of Lynn Riggs' Sump'n Like Wings. Performances will begin September 21 at Theatre Row Off-Broadway, with opening night set for October 10. The limited engagement will continue through November 2.

The cast will feature Julia Brothers (Relatively Speaking), Andrew Gombas (Two Gentlemen of Verona), Cameron Anika Hill (Dear Evan Hansen), Traci Hovel, Lukey Klein, Richard Lear (The Normal Heart), Mariah Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird), Mike Masters (Face the Music), Buzz Roddy (The Night of the Iguana), Lindsey Steinert, and Joy Avigail Sudduth (Leaving the Blues).

Raelle Myrick-Hodges is set to direct. The work follows Willie Baker, a 16-year-old girl too proud and too wild for the life she’s living in Oklahoma. Her mother runs the dining room in the hotel her uncle owns, and Willie is stuck helping her.

Joining Myrick-Hodges on the creative team are set designer Junghyun Georgia Lee, costume designer Emilee McVey-Lee, lighting designer Isabella Gill-Gomez, sound designer Sean Hagerty, props designer Chris Fields, dialect coach and dramaturg Amy Stoller, production stage manager Jeff Meyers, and assistant stage managers Miriam Hyfler and Arthur Atkinson.

“A good play often means different things to different people," Mint Artistic Director Jonathan Bank said in an earlier statement. "As the father of a 16 year old, for me Sump'n Like Wings is a play about parenting—I see that everywhere. You may see it as a play about growing up, or about friendship, or family, or about the need for independence or freedom—and the dangers that accompany both. Riggs has written a remarkable play about home. I’m grateful that we get to introduce it to you.”

Sump'n Like Wings was written in 1925. Riggs' plays also include Green Grow the Lilacs, which was the basis for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!
