'Windfall' To Open Bay Street Mainstage Season

Bay Street Theater has announced the cast and crew of the comedy “Windfall,” the first show of the 2022 Mainstage Season, with previews starting May 31. The new play by Scooter Pietsch, directed by Jason Alexander, best known for his award-winning, nine-year stint as the now iconic George Costanza of television’s “Seinfeld, opens Saturday, June 4, and continues through Sunday, June 19.

In “Windfall,” five office workers in Columbus, Ohio toll under the heavy hand of a maniacal boss and dream of a better life. When the boss’s antics become too much to bear, they bet their last cent on a one-billion-dollar lottery jackpot. But the prospect of winning brings out the worst in these best friends. A dark, hilarious comedy that delves into how far any of us would go in our desire to have it all and live the American Dream. “Windfall” is produced by special arrangement with John Yonover and Ken Davenport.

The cast includes Spencer Garrett as Glenn Brannon (“Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,” “Ironman 3”); Ro Boddie as Galvan Kidd (“Seize The King,” “Socrates,” “Appomattox”); Badia Farha as Kate Rearden (“School Of Rock,” “Broadway Bounty Hunter,” “Little Shop Of Horrors”); Abigail Isom as Hannah Higley (“Fun Home,” “Next To Normal,” “Annie”); Talia Thiesfield as Jacqueline Vanderbilt (“FBI,” “TrollsTopia,” “Ring Twice For Miranda”); and Dylan S. Wallach as Chris Hart (“Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” “We Crashed,” “A Spectacular Holiday”).

Alexander is known as an actor, but he has achieved international recognition for a career noted for its extraordinary diversity. Aside from his performances on stage, screen and television, he has worked extensively as a writer, composer, director, producer and teacher of acting. He has also become an award-winning magician, a notorious poker player and a respected advocate on social and political issues.
