Steppenwolf Theatre Company has found the second star for this summer's Constellations. Jessie Fisher will join the previously announced Jon Michael Hill for the Chicago premiere of Nick Payne's two-hander, to be directed by Jonathan Berry. Fisher will play Marianne, a theoretical physicist, to Hill's Roland, a beekeeper, as their relationship plays out in a multitude of possible outcomes. Constellations will run May 26–July 3 in Steppenwolf's Upstairs Theatre.
The company also announced complete casting for its fall season opener, the world premiere of David Rabe's Visiting Edna, to be staged by artistic director Anna D. Shapiro. Shapiro's cast will include Steppenwolf ensemble members Rondi Reed, Ian Barford, K. Todd Freeman and Sally Murphy; they're joined by the playwright's son, actor Michael Rabe. Visiting Edna runs September 15–November 6.
