MCC Theater has revealed the full cast and creative team for the world premiere of ANON: a tempest at our kitchen table by Anne Washburn (Mr. Burns, a post-electric play).

The production will feature scenic design by dots (The Rocky Horror Show), costume design by Brenda Abbandandolo (Good Night, and Good Luck), lighting design by Cha See (Trophy Boys), sound design by Tei Blow (Rheology), projection design by Jared Mezzocchi (Vietgone), and prop supervision by Andrew Diaz (Table 17).
