Bay Street Theater has unveiled the complete cast and creative teams for its next two mainstage productions: the noir psychological thriller “Deceived,” which runs June 24 to July 20, and the pulse-pounding musical “Bonnie & Clyde” which takes the stage from July 29 to August 24.
Directed by Tony Award-nominee Sheryl Kaller, “‘Deceived’ is a chilling new adaptation of Patrick Hamilton’s “Gaslight,” reimagined by playwrights Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson. The cast features Mary Bacon (“Coal Country,” “Boardwalk Empire”), Briana Carlson-Goodman (“Les Misérables,” “Hair”), Olivia Cygan (“Doubt,” Steppenwolf Theatre) and Sam Gravitte (“Wicked”). Scenic design is by Jason Ardizzone-West, with costumes by Devario D. Simmons, lighting by Reza Behjat, and sound design and original music by Jane Shaw.
The seductive and explosive musical “Bonnie & Clyde” will be directed by Bay Street’s artistic director Scott Schwartz. With music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black, and a book by Ivan Menchell, this thrilling production stars Lyda Jade Harlan as Bonnie and Charlie Webb as Clyde. The cast also includes Nick Bailey as Buck, Ashley Alexandra as Blanche, and Amy Bodnar, Jeremy Webb, Gisela Aduisa, Kathy Deitch, Anargha Pal, Vishal Vaidya, and understudies Mackenzi Germain, and Anthony Costello. Choreography is by Emily Maltby, orchestrations by Patrick Sulken, and costumes by Ashley Soliman.
“These shows are both gripping and fearless,” said Schwartz. “They explore obsession, survival, and identity in wildly different but equally thrilling ways — and we can’t wait to share them with our audiences.”
“Deceived” begins previews June 24 and runs through July 20. “Bonnie & Clyde” follows, running July 29 through August 24. Tickets are available at baystreet.org or 631-725-9500.
