Emmy-winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andre Braugher and his wife, Homicide: Life on the Street cast member Ami Brabson, will present the New York premiere of Oni Faida Lampley's Tough Titty at the Paradise Factory. Running from April 23-May 11, the semiautobiographical drama by the late playwright Lampley is directed by Lydia Fort.

Featured in the company are producer Brabson, along with Christine Toy Johnson (The Music Man), Antoinette LaVecchia (A View From the Bridge), Richard Topol (The Normal Heart), Victor Williams (The King of Queens), Nikkole Salter (Inked Baby), and Elizabeth Van Dyke (Flyin' West).
