I'm beyond excited to share that VESPERS - directed by @charlieschmidlin is premiering at the 2026 Chicago International Film Festival!

Incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity to cast for Charlie - his commitment to story, kindness towards all individuals, ability to make everyone feel seen and his articulate and artistic directing lens are exactly the right ingredients for beautiful flim making.

And this cast... obsessed.

What a gift of a show!
This cast. Stunning.
Sparked so many conversations about the nuances & impact of 9/11 as well as the radical generosity of Gander. We might move there. And, Alex for mayor please. taken in Marriott Theatre by @mccrackencasting

And we’re open!!!!

“Out Here” has been an unforgettable journey —and one I will treasure. To have been able to collaborate with the brilliant artists Leslie Buxbaum Danzig, erin mckeown & David Levin was a gift!

To this incredible cast—Becca Ayers, Cliff Chamberlain, Ellie Duffey, Bethany Thomas, Z Mowry, Amanda Pulcini, and Alex Goodrich—thank you for diving in so fully, for playing, for listening, and for bringing so much heart (and humor) into this process. These characters are alive because of you.

And our understudy company is fire too!! Shout out to Lexi Alioto, Danielle Davis, Michael McCracken & Avery Moss!

And to our brilliant director Chay Yew and music director, Christie Chiles Twillie, congrats on all you did to shape and shepherd this beautiful, messy, complicated, joyful production!

So grateful to Celeste M. Cooper to be on team casting!!

Can’t wait for audiences to be “out here” with us. This is a truly special one!! 💛 Happy Opening!!!

Young, Meagan McNeal, Maiesha McQueen, Lorenzo Rush Jr., Jeff Parker, Zachary James, Jessica Seals, Renelle Nicole, Sydney Charles, Miciah Lathan, Kendal Marie Wilson, Eric Andrew Lewis, Maxel McLoud Schingen, and Bailey A. Champion.
