Presented as part of its Uptown Series, King Liz follows sports agent Liz Rico (Pittman) fighting to stay on top in a man's industry. When Rico takes on a high school basketball star with a troubled past and volatile nature, she will have to work twice as hard to keep him in line and make not only his career but her own, too.

Directed by Lisa Peterson, the cast will also feature Michael Cullen ("Law & Order"), Jeremie Harris (Father Comes Home From the War), Russell G. Jones (Father Comes Home From the War), Caroline Lagerfelt (The Real Thing) and Irene Sofia Lucio (Wit).

An opening night is slated for July 27 at Second Stage' uptown space, the McGinn/Cazale Theatre.

King Liz will feature scenic design by Dane Laffrey, costumes by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau and sound design by Darron L West.
