The world premiere of Tony winner Billy Porter's While I Yet Live, directed by Sheryl Kaller, will officially begin performances at Primary Stages at the Duke on 42nd Street tonight, after having had to cancel last night's performance due to technical issues. Opening night is still set for 12 October 2014 and the limited run will conclude on 31 October 2014.

While I Yet Live "explores coming of age in Pittsburgh amongst a bevy of fascinating and strong-willed women."

The cast of While I Yet Live includes Elain Graham, Susan Heyward, S. Epatha Merkerson, Kevyn Morrow, Sharon Washington, Lillias White, and Larry Powell.

The creative team features scenic design by Adam Koch, costumes by ESosa, lighting by Kevin Adams and sound design by Leon Rothernberg.
