Classic Stage Company has revealed the initial cast for Wine in the Wilderness, by Alice Childress (Trouble in Mind) and directed by Tony Award winner LaChanze (Trouble in Mind) in her New York directorial debut.  The play will star Tramell Tillman (“Severance,” Shit. Meet. Fan) and Olivia Washington (“I'm A Virgo,” Slave Play). Previews will begin on March 6, 2025, with an opening night set for March 24, for a limited run through April 13, 2025 at CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater.

Fortune has smiled on artist Bill Jameson – his friends just introduced him to a model for the final piece of his triptych on Black womanhood. But this woman, Tomorrow Marie, is no mere muse, and she's about to give Bill much more than he bargained for. Set against the backdrop of the 1964 Harlem riot on a hot summer night, Wine in the Wilderness is a rarely-seen play from the brilliant mind of Alice Childress, whose Trouble in Mind recently took Broadway by storm. That production's star, Tony-winner LaChanze, brings her deep connection to Childress's work to her New York directing debut.

Additional casting will be announced shortly. Casting is by X Casting / Victor Vazquez, CSA.
