The Bardy Bunch, the FringeNYC and Off Broadway parody that pits characters from ’70s staples The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch against each other in Shakespearean situations, has announced casting for its upcoming production at Chicago’s Mercury Theater.
On the Partridge side, look for Brianna Borger as Shirley, Skyler Adams as Keith, Erin McGrath as Laurie, Jared Rein as Danny, Mary-Margaret Roberts as Tracy, Timothy Eidman as Chris, Jake Stempel also as Chris (hmmm…), and Jeffery Max as Reuben.
Representing the Bradys, we have Stef Tovar as Mike, Cory Goodrich as Carol, Sawyer Smith as Greg, Olivia Renteria as Marcia, Dan Gold as Peter, Jake Nicholson as Bobby, Callie Johnson as Cindy, and Annie Watkins reprising her Off Broadway role of Jan. Tina Gluschenko will play Alice, with Bret Tuomi as Sam the butcher.
The musical parody, penned by Stephen Garvey with direction by Jay Stern, will run September 15–November 27 at the Mercury. Tickets are on sale at thebardybunch.com.
