Williams, with additional cast members to be announced in the coming weeks.
The event continues CWP’s annual summer tradition at Guild Hall, following last year’s staged reading of All the President’s Men, which featured Alec Baldwin, Andy Cohen, Maddie Corman, Robert Downey Jr., Corey Hawkins, Nathan Lane, Kenneth Lonergan, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Wendell Pierce, Mark Ruffalo, J.
