Adina Verson & More to Star in World Premiere Play Eddie and Dave
Adina Verson, the mega-talented Indecent star who recently appeared off-Broadway in Collective Rage, has been cast in Eddie and Dave, a new play by Amy Staats making its world premiere at the Atlantic Theater Company's Stage 2 space in 2019. Margot Bordelon will direct the production, set to begin previews on January 10 with an opening set for January 22. Eddie and Dave is a raucous retelling of the rise and fall of Pasadena's most groundbreaking '80s rockers told through the foggy lens of a lonely, out-of-work MTV-VJ. Joining Verson in the cast will be Vanessa Aspillaga (Amy and the Orphans), Megan Hill (Do You Feel Anger) and Omer Abbas Salem in his off-Broadway debut. Eddie and Dave is scheduled to play a limited engagement through February 10.
