The Big Dipper, an historic inn nestled in Bigelow, New York, near Niagara Falls, has been in Joan Wilke's family for decades and is on the brink of closure, when a monster blizzard forces two wildly disparate groups of travelers to shelter in place. For three days and nights, within the walls of this sprawling house, secrets are revealed, young love ignites, and lives are changed in this heartfelt new musical comedy.
The cast of Welcome to the Big Dipper is Maybe Burke, Jennifer Byrne, Robert Cuccioli, Christian Magby, Jillian Louis, Mia Pinero, DeMone Seraphin, Pablo Torres, Debra M. Walton, and Michael Yeshion. Understudies are Darius Harper, Ella Oleson, Jayae Riley, Jr., and Erik Schark.
The creative team is Brian Pacelli (set and projection design), Janine Loesch (costume design), Kristen Paige (lighting design), Julian Evans (sound design) and Polly Solomon (properties).
The production stage manager is Bernita Robinson. The assistant stage managers are Caroline Pastore and Carter White. The production manager is Noah Glaister. Casting is by Michael Cassara, CSA. General Management is by HIGH HARD HEAT/Dominick Balletta.
