Led by Kelly Owens, Best Actress Nominee (Black Theatre Alliance Awards) and Madrid St. Angelo, Best Supporting Actor Nominee (Joseph Jefferson Awards), UrbanTheater Company's production features an ethnically diverse combination of Chicago notables and newcomers.

Sixteen actors in all, the cast includes: Owens, St. Angelo, Lyndsay Kane, Kamal Hans, Amrita Dhaliwal, Lance Newton, Robert Hope, Greg Wenz, Michael Moran, David Guiden, Joan McGrath, Bert Matias, Courtney Berne, Brandon Holmes, Warren Levon and Brian Mason. At the directing helm is Richard Perez, Theatre Communications Group (TCG) Fellow and former Associate Artistic Director for Chicago Dramatist. Prior to his Fellowship, Perez was the Producing Artistic Director for the Bloomington Playwrights Project in Bloomington, IN.

Bonnie Metzgar, current Artistic Director for Chicago's About Face Theatre Company (and Associate Producer for The Public Theatre's 2003 production of "f-ing A"), has agreed to assist the production as an Artistic Adviser. 

Suzan Lori-Parks received The MacArthur Foundation Genius Award in 2001 and the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for her play, "Topdog/Underdog". 

"After our critically acclaimed Midwest Premiere of Nilo Cruz's 'Beauty of the Father', UrbanTheater Company remains as Chicago's Premiere multicultural non-equity theatre company, with a history of preserving, producing, promoting and performing the works of under represented minority actor's and playwrights", says Artistic Director, Madrid St. Angelo. 

"f-ing A" will be performed at the Wicker Park Art Center from Friday, March 2nd through Saturday, March 31st, 2012 (Thursday through Saturday) at 7:30pm, with only four previews beginning Monday, February 27th through Thursday, March 1st, 2012 at 7:30pm.
