Casting is now complete for MCC Theater's upcoming production of Neil LaBute's Some Girl(s), which will receive its U.S. premiere this spring. "Scrubs" star Judy Reyes will play Tyler, a Chicago artist in the play; she joins the previously-announced Maura Tierney ("ER"), Eric McCormack ("Will and Grace," The Music Man), Brooke Smith (Silence of the Lambs) and Fran Drescher ("The Nanny").

The strictly limited engagement of Some Girl(s) will begin preview performances on Wednesday, May 17th and continue through Saturday, June 24 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher Street, NYC). Opening night is set for Thursday, June 8, 7PM. Tickets go on sale to the public on Wednesday, March 29th.

Some Girl(s) reunites LaBute with director Jo Bonney, who helmed MCC's critically-acclaimed, sold-out run of Fat Pig last season. "Set in four different city hotel rooms (Seattle, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles), Some Girl(s) follows a soon-to-be-engaged man as he pays a last visit to four ex-girlfriends before taking the plunge.

The London production of Some Girl(s) performed at the Gielgud Theatre and starred David Schwimmer as 'Man;' it ran from May 12th through August 13th, 2005. LaBute's other plays include Fat Pig, The Mercy Seat, The Distance from Here, bash and The Shape of Things.

Reyes portrays the caring but slightly jaded Nurse Carla Espinosa on NBC's "Scrubs." Her theatre credits include plays with the LAByrinth Theatre Company; she has served as both actor and producer on numerous productions over the past 10 years. Her film credits include Jack and His Friends, Bringing Out the Dead, Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God, Be Back at Five and the upcoming Washington Heights. Additionally, Reyes acted in and co-produced (with her husband, writer/director, Edwin M. Figueroa) Taino, a short film which was screened at the 1999 New York International Latino Film Festival and one of four finalists to air on Showtime's Latino Filmmakers Forum. Reyes' television credits include a recurring role as Tina on "Oz." She has also appeared in "The Sopranos" and "100 Centre Street." Her made-for-television movies include "John Sanford's Mind Prey," and "The Prosecutors."

Some Girl(s) will feature set design by Neil Patel (The Mercy Seat); costume design by Mimi O'Donnell (Fat Pig); lighting design by David Weiner (Living Out) and sound design by Rob Kaplowitz (Fat Pig).
