Photo Flash: First Look at Hayden Tee, Euan Morton and More in TheatreWorks' BEING EARNEST

Hayden Tee, returning as the mischievous "Jack Worthing," has appeared in productions with ALLIANCE THEATRE (Into the Woods), Pittsburgh CLO (Camelot), Opera Australia (My Fair Lady), and New Zealand's Court Theatre (Kiss Me, Kate), and starred as Marius in the 20th anniversary West End production of Les Miserables. Riley Krull, seen around the Bay Area in productions at Magic Theatre (Another Way Home), 42nd Street Moon (Sugar), and Diablo Theatre Company (Legally Blonde), returns as the innocent "Cecily Cardew." Once again, the role of the stern "Lady Bracknell" will be played by Maureen McVerry, whose credits include Learned Ladies of Park Ave and Into the Woods at TheatreWorks and roles at American Conservatory Theater, Aurora Theatre Company, San Jose Repertory Theatre, Marin Theatre Company, and Magic Theatre. Diana Torres Koss, who has been seen at TheatreWorks in Sweeney Todd (Mrs. Lovett), Jane Eyre, Merrily We Roll Along, and many others, will reprise her role as Cecily's tutor "Miss Prism." Brian Herndon, who created the role of "Mr. Elton" in TheatreWorks' World Premiere of Paul Gordon's Emma and continued on with the production to The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and has appeared in roles with Marin Theatre Company, Aurora Theatre Company, and The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, returns as "Dr. Chausable" and "Lane."

TheatreWorks also welcomes Mindy Lym as the lovely "Gwendolyn Fairfax." Lym created the role of "Jane Fairfax" in TheatreWorks' World Premiere of Paul Gordon's Emma and has starred as "Eliza Doolittle" in My Fair Lady (Foothill Music Theatre), "Natalie/Ed" in All Shook Up (Center REPertory Company), "Eva Peron" in Evita (Contra Costa Musical Theatre, Shellie Award for Best Actress), and "Christine Colgate" in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Broadway by the Bay). Euan Morton, who originated the role of "Boy George" in the musical Taboo (Olivier and Tony Award nominations, Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut), and has gone on to star on Broadway (Sondheim on Sondheim, Cyrano de Bergerac, Taboo), Off-Broadway (Leaves of Glass, Howard Katz), in several West End productions, and at regional theatres including Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC, Hartford Stage, and Berkeley Repertory Theatre, will make his TheatreWorks debut in BEING EARNEST as "Algernon Moncrieff."
