Deirdre O’Connell & More to Star in Jeff Augustin’s Little Children Dream of God Off-Broadway

Deirdre O’Connell (By The Water, TV’s Nurse Jackie) and more will star in the previously announced world premiere of Jeff Augustin’s Little Children Dream of God. Directed by Giovanna Sardelli, the play, which launches Roundabout Underground’s eighth season, will begin previews off-Broadway on January 24, 2015 and run through April 5. Opening night is set for February 17 at the Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.

Joining O’Connell as Carolyn will be Gilbert Cruz (TV’s Girls) as Manuel, Dashiell Eaves (Coram Boy) as Trevor, Maurice Jones (Romeo and Juliet) as Joel, Chris Myers as Vishal, Carra Patterson as Sula, Crystal Lucas-Perry as Madison and Carl Hendrick Louis as Toussaint and Man.

On a balmy night in Miami, a soon-to-be mother, Sula, floats ashore on a car tire. Having braved a perilous journey to escape her native Haiti, Sula is determined to forge a better life in America for her unborn son. She soon finds safety in an apartment building that shelters refugees in need, joining a diverse community of immigrants, each with their own unique dreams and dilemmas. But even though the life she has hoped for seems within reach, Sula knows she can’t outrun her demons forever.

The production will feature sets by Andrew Boyce, costumes by Jennifer Caprio, lighting by Gina Scherr and sound by M.L. Dogg.
