Williamstown Announces Complete Casting For New 'Flea'

The Williamstown Theatre Festival has announced complete casting for A Flea in Her Ear, a new version of George Feydeau's farce by David Ives, directed by Tony Award-winner John Rando (Urinetown).  A Flea in Her Ear will play the Main Stage from Wednesday, July 30 through Sunday, August 10.

The cast includes Brooks Ashmanskas, Mia Barron, Jeremy Beck, MacIntyre Dixon, Carson Elrod, Mark Harelik, Tom Hewitt, Tom McGowan, Kathryn Meisle, Geoffrey Murphy, Heidi Neidermeyer, David Pittu, Debra Jo Rupp, Sarah Turner.

In A Flea in Her Ear, sexy mistresses and dashing suitors abound in this sensual and satirical romp through 1900's Paris. When an anonymous letter provokes a hilarious chain of mistaken identities, seductive trickery runs hysterically amuck, and the sultry, shadowed rooms of a scandalous Parisian hotel will never be quite the same.

The design team for A Flea in Her Ear includes set design by Alexander Dodge, costume design by Gregory Gale, lighting design by Rui Rita, and original music and sound design by John Gromada, Stephen Gabis is dialect coach and Rick Sordelet is fight director.  The production stage manager is Donald Fried.

WTF's current Main Stage production, She Loves Me, continues through July 12, 2008.  On the Nikos Stage beginning July 9, Thomas Kail directs the World Premiere of Broke-ology, by Nathan Louis Jackson (through July 20).
