Writers' Theatre Artistic Director Michael Halberstam and Executive Director Kathryn M. Lipuma announce the world premiere of Do The Hustle by Brett Neveu. The production, directed by William Brown, runs January 25-March 20, 2011, at Writers' Theatre, 325 Tudor Court in Glencoe.

Sam and Eddie Sisson are more than just father and son; they're a crack team of hustlers always looking for the next mark. Sam, just a teenager who has practically raised himself, now wants to distinguish himself from his father and strike out on his own. Eddie doesn't want to let his son go without one final hustle, which could bring in their biggest take yet, but could ultimately tear them apart.

Do The Hustle is the second work Writers' has commissioned from playwright Brett Neveu through its Literary Development Initiative. The first commission, Old Glory directed by William Brown received its world premiere production at Writers' Theatre during the 2008/09 Season.

The cast features Patrick Andrews, Francis Guinan, Joe Minoso and Karen Janes Woditsch.

The designers are Kevin Depinet (scenic), Charles Cooper (lighting), Rachel Anne Healy (costumes) and Andrew Hansen (sound). The production stage manager is David Castellanos.
