Maxwell Caulfield has been added to the cast of the world premiere production of My Deah by John Epperson (aka Lypsinka). The comedy will be presented by Abingdon Theatre Company.
In addition to Opel and Caulfield, My Deah stars Peter Brouwer, Lori Gardner, Michael Hunsaker, Geoffrey Molloy, Jay Rogers, and Kevin Townley.
The show is, according to press notes, a "Southern-fried version of Euripides' Medea" that promises "more blood, more laughs, and more violence, all in the name of comedy. When My Deah Hedgepeth confronts her husband Gator, her friends, the Governor of Mississippi—and carries out her plans for revenge—y'all just might die laughin'!"

A Day In The Life, As I Lay Lip-Synching, and Lypsinka Must Be Destroyed!
