PUSH PARTY by Nia Akilah Robinson
Directed by Chesray Dolpha

Theaterlab | June 2024

Nia Akilah Robinson’s Push Party is a lively ensemble comedy about six Black women trying to uphold fifteen years of friendship at a post-birthing party in Harlem. All Lelo wants is for this event to go smoothly, but tensions among the group rise and then explode when an unhoused person lands in the community room. Inspired by Black women’s stories of birth and motherhood and by the joys and challenges of life in Harlem, this new play confronts the moments when friendship erodes, when hope starts to falter, when we argue until we laugh, and when Black folk see other Black folk suffering and die a little inside.

Featuring: Mikayla Bartholomew, Brittany Davis, Breezy Leigh, Claudia Logan, Nedra Snipes, and Clarissa Vickerie

BRAINSMASH by Sophie Weisskoff

Directed by Emma Miller

59E59 Theaters | March 2023

After Maisie gets hit by a car, a traumatic brain injury turns her life upside down. Suddenly computer screens hurt to look at, cafes feel like minefields, and why did no one ever tell her that speech-to-text would be this hard?  BRAINSMASH is a sense-engaging, funny-sad play about acquired disabilities and being there for those who need you most, even if they don’t know how to ask.

Featuring: Paola Sanchez Abreu, Andrew Duff, Beth Griffith, Julia Greer, Emma Kikue, Julia Weinberg

EVENTS by Bailey Williams
Directed by Sarah Blush

The Brick | December 2022

The other day, something happened to Itchy at work. She started itching. On another day, the office of Todd David Design plans an event. An event, as you know, is a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. The theme of the event is eggs. But what is the story of the egg? This is going to be an indelible, one-of-a-kind experience for Mark, Joanna, their company Juvenescence, the guests, the itch, the crease of your elbow, your armpits, your itch, your knees, and the back of your scalp. Just watch out for the art, okay? Don't touch anything if you're not sure. 

Featuring: Dee Beasnael, Brian Bock, Julia Greer, Claire Siebers, Derek Smith, Zuzanna Szadkowski, Haley Wong

A hot-shot porn editor searches for her dead brother in tree branches and empty McChicken wrappers. happy life is a play about the domestic efficiency of stacking the living on top of the dead; about jargon and vomit and the bureaucracy of second chances.
