A new lineup of stars and dates have been announced for the off-Broadway solo show White Rabbit Red Rabbit, the internationally acclaimed play by Nassim Soleimanpour that is currently playing at the Westside Theatre.

The production features a rotating cast of stars who will see the script for the first time immediately before stepping onstage for their performances: "No rehearsal. No director. No set. No spoilers," says the production. "A different performer each night is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage."

Joining the lineup are F. Murray Abraham (It's Only a Play) on July 18 and Josh Radnor (Disgraced) on July 25. The summer cast list also includes Rachel Dratch (Ripcord) on June 20; Emmy winner Reg E. Cathey (The Wire) on June 27, and Kathy Najimy (Sister Act) on July 11.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit is described as follows: "Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not — distilling the experience of his isolation in an audacious and utterly nontraditional new play. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece — where no audience can see the same show twice — blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theater."
