Afterglow is directed by Steven Kunis, originally directed by Tom O'Brien, set and costume design by Libby Todd, lighting design by David Howe, sound design by Joel Price, movement direction by Lee Crowley, with casting by Anne Vosser. Afterglow is produced by Adam Roebuck, Aaron Quintana and Justin Coffman.
