RING OF FIRE Cast Set for Depot Theatre's Season Finale
Michael Santora returns to direct and choreograph a cast including Hannah Taylor and Brian Sanford.
Depot Theatre will close its 2026 Main Stage season with RING OF FIRE: The Music of Johnny Cash, running August 20 through September 6 at the professional theater's historic home in Westport, New York.
Featuring five actor-musicians and more than two dozen songs associated with Johnny Cash, RING OF FIRE traces themes of love, faith, family, struggle and redemption through the music of the American singer-songwriter.
Michael Santora returns to direct and choreograph after helming the Depot's production of Million Dollar Quartet last summer.
Cast and Creative Team
The company features Hannah Taylor as Trenna, Tommy Bergeron as Jason, Joey Nuhfer as Mark, Matt Woodward as David, and Brian Sanford as Eddie. Evan Raines will step into the role of David for the production's final weekend.
Sanford also serves as music director and returns to the Depot after portraying Johnny Cash in last summer's Million Dollar Quartet. Members of the company bring credits from national tours, Off-Broadway and regional theaters across the country.
RING OF FIRE was created by Richard Maltby, Jr. and conceived by William Meade. The show was adapted from the Broadway production by Maltby and Jason Edwards, with orchestrations by Steven Bishop and Jeff Lisenby and additional arrangements by David Abbinanti.
