Goodman Theatre has announced the cast and creatives for their summer production of Eugene O’Neill’s AH, WILDERNESS!.

Directed by Steve Scott, the production features Randall Newsome (Nat Miller), Ora Jones (Essie Miller), Travis Knight (Arthur Miller), Niall Cunningham (Richard Miller), Rochelle Therrien (Mildred Miller), Matthew Abraham (Tommy Miller), Larry Bates (Sid Davis), Kate Fry (Lily Miller), Ricardo Gutierrez (David McComber), Ayssette Muñoz (Muriel McComber), Will Allan (Wint Selby), Amanda Drinkall (Belle), Bri Sudia (Norah), Joe Dempsey (Bartender), and Bret Tuomi (Salesman).

Cunningham is of the CBS television series Life In Pieces fame, making his Goodman debut.

The design team includes Todd Rosenthal (Set), Amy Clark (Costumes), Aaron Spivey (Lights) and Richard Woodbury (Sound).

“So much of O’Neill’s work is about people feeling like they’re isolated and alone, even within a family, and the lovely thing about AH, WILDERNESS! is that the members of the Miller family connect with each other. This was something that O’Neill himself seemed to lack; he saw himself as an outcast but yearned to be part of a real family, or part of real relationships, almost in a fantasy way,” said  Scott. “I think we all long for a family we can really be a part of. Some of us were lucky enough to grow up in that family; some of us weren’t. But as we reach adulthood, that’s a kind of primal need: to find family who will nurture us. And that’s what AH, WILDERNESS! shows us.”

AH, WILDERNESS! runs June 17th – July 23rd. For more information visit goodmantheatre.org.
