Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita has joined the cast of the upcoming invitation-only readings of Michele Aldin Kushner's Radio Galaxy. The readings are set for Friday, February 2 at 11 AM and 2 PM at the New York Library for the Performing Arts. 

As previously reported, the cast also includes Tony Danza (Honeymoon In Vegas), Oscar Williams (Fun Home), Ritisha Chakraborty (The Skin of Our Teeth), Ami Sheth (Blindspot), and Alok Tewari (The Band’s Visit).

Directed by David Esbjornson, Radio Galaxy follows Tino, a 17-year-old science prodigy who unexpectedly meets his biological father Raju, an astrophysicist. Tino could help Raju's sick daughter and achieve his dreams of studying the cosmos, if only his father would let him. 

“Radio Galaxy explores family in a most thoughtful but also heart stopping way,” producers Margot Astrachan and Richard Winkler said in a joint statement. “The play lets us laugh and cry and brings up insightful and thought-provoking questions such as: What does it mean to be a father? What determines fatherhood? And can we overcome our prejudices? Our hope is that the play will be the catalyst for insightful conversations about love and the family unit."

Casting is by Murnane Casting's Chad Eric Murnane.
