New Georges, a theatrical organization focused on uplifting women and non-binary artists, has announced two of the productions slated for its 2024-2025 season.
The season will kick off with A Woman Among Women by Julia May Jonas, featuring music by Brian Cavanagh-Strong and direction by Sarah Hughes. Performances will begin October 15 for a run through November 3 at The Bushwick Starr, which is also a co-producer.
The cast will include Brittany K. Allen (Redwood), Gabriel Brown (The Good Fight), Annie Fang (Usus), Zoë Geltman (Kara & Emma & Barbara & Miranda), Hannah Heller (Strange Window), Lucy Kaminsky (Family Happiness), Drew Lewis (Redwood), Maria-Christina Oliveras (Between Riverside and Crazy), and Dee Pelletier (Twelfth Night).
From March 28-April 26, 2025, the season will continue at HERE with Two Sisters Find A Box of Lesbian Erotica in the Woods, written and performed by Emma Horwitz and Bailey Williams, and directed by Tara Elliott. The work is co-produced with Rattlestick Theater, and will feature production design by Normandy Sherwood.
A third production will be announced at a later date.
“If it takes a village to make a play these days: we’re happy villagers,” Artistic Director and producer Susan Bernfield said in a statement. “Following successful producing partnerships earlier this year—Grief Hotel with Clubbed Thumb and Hilma with The Wilma Theater—we head into two dream co-productions in 2024-25, both plays that emerged from New Georges programs. I think I’ve been waiting my whole career for Julia May Jonas to come along and write ‘response plays’ to canonical male-experience plays, and now A Woman Among Women will open the new Bushwick Starr. Emma Horwitz and Bailey Williams’ Two Sisters... is an ideal collaboration with Rattlestick—delightful and unexpectedly layered. We’re excited, too, to honor Emily Morse, Artistic Director of New Dramatists, at our Big Benefit gala on September 23.”
