Off-Broadway's Public Theater has unveiled casting for its upcoming New York premiere run of James Ijames (Fat Ham)'s Good Bones, playing the Public's Martinson Hall beginning September 19. Opening night is October 1, and the run will continue through October 13.

The cast will include Mamoudou Athie as Travis, Khris Davis as Earl, Téa Guarino as Carmen, and Susan Kelechi Watson as Aisha.

The new work, which premiered at Washington, D.C.'s Studio Theatre last year, centers on a woman who gets a chance to revitalize the troubled neighborhood in which she grew up, a process that quickly devolves into painful and hard conversations about who gets to stay and who must go. Public Associate Artistic Director Saheem Ali is directing. The production brings Ijames back to the Public after the company's staging of his Pulitzer-winning Fat Ham transferred to Broadway.

The production will also feature scenic design by Maruti Evans, costume design by Oana Botez, lighting design by Barbara Samuels, sound design by Fan Zhang, and hair and wig design by Krystal Balleza. Jack Phillips Moore is serving as dramaturg, Norman Anthony Small will be production stage manager, and Giselle Andrea Raphaela will be stage manager.

Tickets are available at PublicTheater.org.
