Photos: Meet the Cast of the World Premiere of SUPERHERO

Houses on the Moon Theater Company has announced, today, Yvette Ganier (Jitney, King Hedley II), has joined the cast for the World Premiere of SuperHero, a new play written by Ian Eaton, developed with and directed by Warren Adams. Ms. Ganier replaces the previously announced Valisia LeKae.

Get a first look at the cast below!

Performances begin Tuesday, April 12, 2022 for a limited engagement through May 1, 2022 at The Frank Shiner Theater at The Sheen Center (18 Bleecker Street in the East Village). The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture is the arts center of the Archdiocese of New York. Opening Night is Thursday, April 14, 2022, at 7:00PM.

SuperHero is an original play about a boy who fantasizes about having superpowers. This coming-of-age story is inspired by playwright Ian Eaton's experiences of navigating strict West Indian parents, girls, and Catholic school amidst the backdrop of 1980's Manhattanville Projects in Harlem. After a tragic event, Ian's fantasies of being a "super" man are shattered when a neighborhood bully forces him to confront the kind of man he wants to become.

In addition to Ms. Ganier, the cast of SuperHero features SJ Hannah (The Lion King -nat'l tour) Jeorge Bennett Watson (Fences-Delaware Rep, "The Wire"), and Bryce Michael Wood (King Lear, TopDog/Underdog - Shakespeare & Co.)

The creative team for SuperHero includes Lawrence Moten (scenic design), Amina Alexander (lighting design), and Ronvé O'Daniel (sound design), and Reneé Flemings (dramaturg). The Production Stage Manager is Hanako Rodriguez. Casting by Eisenberg/Beans Casting.
