The production, which will open officially on November 12, will be directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes. Additional casting will be announced shortly.

The show focuses on a young press secretary (to be played by Gallagher) who falls prey to backroom politics. Willimon's other plays include Lower Ninth. Hughes won the Tony Award for directing Doubt.
