The cast features Tampa Bay siblings David B. Friedman and Noa Friedman, along with Elizabeth Meckler, Arielle Beth Klein, Evan Fineout, and Cameron Kubly. David B. Friedman and Noa Friedman are making their freeFall Theatre debuts.
Eric Davis directs and also serves as production and video designer. The creative team includes lighting designer Mike Wood and sound engineer Nathan Doyle.
