The leading and supporting cast features numerous Broadway actors including Tony nominee Colman Domingo (Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, The Scottsboro Boys) as Tish’s father and Tony nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Lobby Hero, The Book of Mormon) as Daniel. Other recent Broadway names include Finn Wittrock (The Glass Menagerie, Death of a Salesman), Pedro Pascal (upcoming King Lear), and a small role (seen in the above trailer) by Bobby Conte Thornton (A Bronx Tale).
