**CASTING NOTICE: Due to the sudden departure of original cast member, Jack Collins (Jason Dean), the role of Jason Dean will be played by Johnny Barker, effectively immediately. We wish Mr. Collins all the best in his future theatrical endeavors. - The Heathers Cast and Management**

*Casting Notice: Yoshue Nathanson, originally cast as Jason Dean and due to begin performances in the lead role in June, will no longer be a part of the cast. It is with the deepest regret and from the greatest sense of gratitude that we must bid farewell to Mr. Nathanson, who was critically stabbed in early March outside the theater in Liverpool. Mr. Nathanson was released from the hospital (finally) yesterday and is instructed to take bed rest in order to recover. We are all so thankful for Yoshue's work and look to the future when he can continue acting with us! -The Heathers Cast*
