Casting Announced for Alan Hruska's Laugh It Up, Stare It Down Off-Broadway

Broadway alum Katya Campbell and more have been tapped for Alan Hruska's Laugh It Up, Stare It Down. Directed by Chris Eigeman, the new play will begin previews on August 26 with opening night set for September 9 at off-Broadway’s The Cherry Lane Theatre.

Joining Campbell (Disgraced) in the cast will be Jayce Bartok (Made In Poland), Maury Ginsberg (Mother Courage and The Cherry Orchard) and Amy Hargreaves (Homeland).

Laugh It Up, Stare It Down tells the story of Cleo and Joe—the meeting of their minds, the entwining of their hearts, and their life-long search for a meaningful point in a universe too random to have one. It's a journey marked by a missing baby, a forged painting, a house invader, a tidal wave, and frozen pistou. Will they rise above their outrageous fortune? Will they find ecstatic love?

The production will feature scenic design by Kevin Judge, costume design by Jennifer Caprio, lighting design by Matthew J. Fick and original music and sound design by Peter Salett.
