Bay Street Theater presents THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO, the Tony Award-winning play by Alfred Uhry, directed by Will Pomerantz. The production will run starting this week from June 28 - July 24. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Atlanta, 1939. It's the premiere of Gone with the Wind, it's the party of the year, and everything is about to change. The wealthy and important Freitag family is looking forward to Ballyhoo, the lavish German Jewish country club ball, and all it will mean for daughters Lala and Sunny. But life turns upside down when their uncle brings home his new employee, a handsome Eastern European bachelor from Brooklyn. Everyone must confront their own beliefs, prejudices, and desires. The family will never be the same as they take a journey filled with comedy, romance, and surprising revelations.

The cast stars Daniel Abeles (Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again., Where We're Born) as Peachy Weil; Ari Brand (My Name is Asher Lev, Diner) as Joe Farkas; Ellen Harvey (House of Cards,How To Succeed in Business...) as Boo Levy; John Hickok (AIDA, Little Women) as Adolph Freitag; Dori Legg (Good Girls Revolt) as Reba Freitag; Erin Neufer (Nathan the Wise, Where We Are) as Lala Levy; and Amanda Kristin Nichols (The Tempest, Moon Over Buffalo) as Sunny Freitag.

The production team includes Alexander Dodge (Set Designer), Mike Billings (Lighting Designer), Lindsay W. Davis (Costume Designer), Jane Shaw (Sound Designer), Andrew Diaz (Props), Meg Murphy (Hair/ Wig Designer), and Kat West (Production Stage Manager). Casting by Stewart/Whitley.
