Tory Kittles, Brittany Inge and Stori Ayers to star in new production of Samm-Art Williams’ Home with Kenny Leon directing
The Roundabout Theatre Company has announced that Tory Kittles, Brittany Inge and Stori Ayers will star in the new production of Home by Samm-Art Williams, not seen on Broadway in more than 40 years. The play will be directed by Kenny Leon.
Home will feature Tory Kittles as “Cephus Miles,” Brittany Inge as “Woman One / Pattie Mae Wells,” and Stori Ayers as “Woman Two”—all in their Roundabout Theatre Company debuts.
In the Tony Award-nominated play The New York Times calls “an uplifting folk ballad about the pure in heart,” Cephus Miles has the whole world in his callused hands—until his sweetheart Pattie Mae goes off to college and marries another man. Originally staged by the Negro Ensemble Company in 1979, and featured in the first year of Roundabout’s Refocus Project, Samm-Art Williams’ Home is a muscular and melodic coming-of-age story that gives voice to the unbreakable spirit of all Americans who have been searching for a place to belong.
Home will begin preview performances on Friday, May 17, 2024, and open officially on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at the Todd Haimes Theatre (227 West 42nd Street) on Broadway. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, July 21, 2024.
Kittles can currently be seen starring on the hit CBS/Universal series “The Equalizer,” as ‘Detective Marcus Dante,’ reuniting with Queen Latifah, who he previously collaborated with in Bessie directed by Dee Rees and Steel Magnolias directed by Kenny Leon.
Currently, Brittany can be seen portraying Ashley James on the 2x Emmy-nominated sitcom, “The Ms. Pat Show,” streaming now on BET+. Brittany spent two seasons portraying Crystal Garrett on “Boomerang” (the series); executive produced by Lena Waithe and Halle Berry.
Ayers played Regina on the TBS hit series “The Last O.G.” and has performed on stages across the country. She is also a Director and co-founder of [RARE] Lotus Productions. Stori has directed at the Geffen Playhouse, Cincinnati PlayHouse in the Park, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, Mosaic Theater, and Chautauqua Theatre Company.
