Casting is now complete for The Old Globe's upcoming production of William Shakespeare鈥檚 The Comedy of Errors, directed by Globe Resident Artist James V谩squez.
The comedy, which will conclude the Globe鈥檚 2025 Summer Shakespeare Festival, will be presented July 27-August 24 in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. Opening night in San Diego is August 2.
The cast will feature Will Blum (Beetlejuice) as Dromio of Syracuse, Gina Daniels (Network) as Lady Abbess, Joshua Echebiri as Antipholus of Ephesus, Brandon Micheal Hall (Trouble in Mind) as Antipholus of Syracuse, Kevin Orton (Amadeus) as Egeon, Daniel Petzold as Dromio of Ephesus, Tony nominee Sarah Stiles (Tootsie) as Adriana, and Heather Velazquez as Luciana.

Bush, Trevor Butler, Madi Goff, Chris Hathaway, Stephanie Hinck, Conner Keef, Susane Lee, Erick Lindsey, Angelynne 鈥淎jay鈥� Pawaan, Akoni Steinmann, Lisa VillaMil, and Shayln Welch.
The comedy, reset to the 1990s, follows a young man and his sidekick, who are mistaken for their own long-lost twins; everyone鈥檚 lives are turned upside down as mistaken identities, confused lovers, and all kinds of shenanigans ensue.
鈥淭he Globe鈥檚 season of laughter continues with Shakespeare鈥檚 great masterpiece of mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors,鈥� said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein in a statement. 鈥淭he play just delivers. The story is a brilliantly constructed, the language accessible and energetic, and its characters make up a gallery of knuckleheads that sweep audiences on a journey of fun. San Diego鈥檚 own James V谩squez sets the play in a fantasy world of 1990s hijinks, injecting jolts of energy and invention into Shakespeare鈥檚 vivid world. You won鈥檛 want to miss this hilarious night of fun under the stars.鈥�
The upcoming production will also have scenic design by Lawrence E. Moten III, costume design by Amanda Vander Byl, lighting design by Sherrice Mojgani, sound design by Melanie Chen Cole, voice and dialect coaching by Nathan C. Crocker, and casting by Alaine Alldaffer and Lisa Donadio. Chandra R.M. Anthenill is the production stage manager.
