Luck of the Irish: Eisa Davis and more cast

Eisa Davis ("Hart of Dixie," 'Passing Strange') has been cast in the ensemble of LCT3's production of Kirsten Greenidge's Luck of the Irish, opening at the Claire Tow Theater on 11 Feb 2013, following previews from 28 Jan 2013, and running through to 10 Mar 2013.

Directed by Rebecca Taichman, the ensemble will also feature Marsha Stephanie Blake, Dashiell Eaves, Frank Harts, Robert Hogan, Jenny O'Hara, Carra Patterson, Amanda Quaid and Victor Williams.

Luck of the Irish: When an upwardly mobile African-American couple wants to buy a home in an all-white neighborhood of 1950's Boston, they pay a struggling Irish family to 'ghost-buy' a house on their behalf. Fifty years later, the Irish family wants 'their' house back. Moving across two eras, Luck of the Irish, explores racial and social issues and the universal longing for home.

The production will feature sets by Mimi Lien, costumes by Oana Botez, lighting by Justin Townsend and sound by Matt Tierney. Casting will be announced at a later date.

Kirsten Greenidge (Playwright) is the author of 'Bossa Nova,' 'Milk Like Sugar,' 'Rust,' 'The Curious Walk of the Salamander,' 'Sans-Culottes in the Promised Land,' '103 Within the Veil' and 'The Gibson Girl.'

Rebecca Taichman's credits include: Off-Broadway: Sarah Ruhl's 'Orlando' (Classic Stage Company); Theresa Rebeck's 'The Scene,' starring Tony Shalhoub and Patricia Heaton (Second Stage); 'Menopausal Gentleman' (Obie Award).
