About the Production
Fiasco Theater returns to The Old Globe following earlier collaborations including Into the Woods and The Imaginary Invalid.

Understudies for the production are Madi Goff, covering Ginger Snap and Nippers; Conner Keef as understudy for Bartleby; Jon Lorenz as understudy for The Lawyer; and Shalyn Welch as understudy for Turkey.

The creative team for Bartleby includes scenic designer Lawrence E. Moten III, Costume Designer Emily Rebholz, lighting designer Reza Behjat, and sound design by Uptown Works—Bailey Trierweiler, Daniela Hart, and Noel Nichols. The production also features movement by Chelsey Arce, voice and text work by Emmelyn Thayer, casting by Caparelliotis Casting, and production stage management by Amanda Salmons.
