Tony nominee Robyn Hurder, most recently seen as Ivy Lynn in the new Broadway musical Smash, will star as Tracy Lord in the Ogunquit Playhouse’s upcoming reimagining of High Society, which will play the Maine venue July 24–August 23.

Hurder will join the previously reported Max Clayton, recently seen as Billy Flynn in Broadway's Chicago, who will portray C.K. Dexter Haven. Additional casting, by ARC, will be announced at a later date.

Matt Lenz will direct.
