Jasmine Guy has been cast in David Feldshuh’s 1992 Pulitzer Prize-nominated work Miss Evers Boys for Atlanta’s True Colors Theatre Company.

The drama based on the historic Tuskegee Study, a 40-year program which studied the often-fatal progress of untreated syphilis in a group of African American sharecroppers, will be directed by True Colors artistic director Kenny Leon.

Guy, whose credits include Chicago, Beehive and A Different World, will portray Nurse Eunice Evers, who chronicles her experience as she attempts to assist four men participating in the study. The cast will also feature Eugene Lee (Broadway’s Gem of the Ocean) and Atlanta stage veteran E. Roger Mitchell (Alliance Radio Golf).

The drama will run March 1-21 at the Southwest Arts Center (915 New Hope Road in Atlanta, GA). Miss Evers Boys will officially open March 4.
