Full casting has been found for Elevator Repair Service's upcoming NYC premiere of Ulysses, being presented by Off-Broadway's Public Theater as part of the 2026 Under the Radar Festival. Performances begin January 13, 2026, ahead of a January 25 opening night in the Public's Martinson Hall. Performances will continue through February 15.

The cast will include Dee Beasnael, Kate Benson, Maggie Hoffman, Vin Knight, Scott Shepherd, Christopher-Rashee Stevenson, and Stephanie Weeks.

The production, which premiered at Fisher Center at Bard last year, presents Joyce's epic text abridged to carry a run time of two hours and 40 minutes. John Collins is directing, with co-direction and dramatrugy by Scott Shepard. The production will feature scenic design by dots, costume design by Enver Chakartash, lighting design by Marika Kent, sound design by Ben Williams, projection design by Matthew Deinhart, and prop design by Patricia Marjorie. Maurina Lioce will be the production stage manager, and Kelsey Vivian will be the stage manager.

“The Public has been ERS’s biggest and most consistent partner over the last 15 years, and we are thrilled to be continuing this collaboration,” says Collins, also ERS' artistic director, in a statement. “Ever since Gatz premiered in New York in 2010, The Public has been a home for us, and we can’t wait to bring Ulysses to the Martinson.”

"Ulysses is a whirlwind tour through the hilarity and heart to be found in this novel notorious for its difficulty," adds Shepherd. "Clock hands spin and text flies up the wall as we try to keep up with Joyce’s mad-genius experimentations. The world of Ulysses is so vast and varied every reader finds different points of kinship. What we keyed into most, maybe, is the dedicated irreverence it uses as a delivery vehicle for its profound sincerity. The whole thing, you could say, is an enormous, elaborate joke—meant in all seriousness.”
