Celebration Theatre Co. has announced the cast of Andrew Lippa's THE WILD PARTY, playing at The Abbey in downtown Orlando July 21 to 28.

Leading the cast will be Katy Williams as Queenie, Christopher Fahmie as Burrs, Keenan J. Harris as Black, and Kristina Jimenez as Kate.

CTCo's production of THE WILD PARTY is produced and directed by Russell Stephens, with choreography by Sarah Ruth Joyner, music direction by Heather Langs, costume design by Hannah Sage, and lighting design by Bradley Cronenwett.

Written by Andrew Lippa, THE WILD PARTY sees vaudeville performers Queenie and Burrs throw the party to end all parties in an attempt to reignite the spark of their soured relationship. Based on Joseph Moncure March's poem of the same name, Lippa's adaptation of THE WILD PARTY debuted off-Broadway less than two months before Michael John LaChiusa's adaptation of the same story opened on the main stem.

Tickets for THE WILD PARTY are on sale now and can be purchased at linktr.ee/celebrationtheatrecompany. General admission tickets are $15, standard reserved tickets are $20, and VIP table seats including a drink ticket are $30.
