The world premiere of Larissa FastHorse's Fake It Until You Make It begins performances at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles January 29.

Running through March 9, the production is directed by Michael John Garcés. The satirical farce is a co-production between Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles and Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. Following the Los Angeles run, the production will transfer to Arena, where it will run April 3-May 4.

In FastHorse's play, a collision of friends and foes within the nonprofit sector spirals into a whirlwind of competition, chaos, and comedic revelation. Centering on Wynona, the Native American proprietor of N.O.B.U.S.H., and River, her white counterpart at Indigenous Nations Soaring; the work sees their escalating rivalry pulling everyone around them into the crossfire, as colleagues and bystanders alike as forced to take sides. Fake It Until You Make It is a considered, absurd look at what defines who we are and the lengths some will go through to change it.

The Los Angeles cast includes Noah Bean (Romance), Eric Stanton Betts (Holiday Down Under), Julie Bowen (Modern Family) Tonantzin Carmelo (La Brea), Brandon Delsid (This is Me … Now), and Dakota Ray Hebert (Marvel’s Echo). When the cast continues to D.C., Amy Brenneman (NYPD Blue, Judging Amy, Private Practice, The Leftovers) will step in for Bowen.

Fake It Until You Make It was originally commissioned by Center Theatre Group.
