A Woman Among Women
It’s a summer day in Northampton, Massachusetts and Cleo, founder of the local women’s wellness center, holds court in her backyard. As friends, family and neighbors pass through, the air hums with a tension that may destroy the community she’s worked so hard to build. With A Woman Among Women, playwright Julia May Jonas delivers a sharp, subversive counterpoint to Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. A Woman Among Men is now playing at the Claire Tow Theater.

And Then the Rodeo Burned Down
The rodeo is the best place in the world. Why would anybody burn it down? Dale, a rodeo clown with a big dream (and a mischievous shadow), certainly wouldn’t. After all, Dale wants to be a cowboy. So, if we’re going to find out who burned the rodeo down, we’ll have to finish the play. And now there’s fire involved? That sounds expensive. Physical, brutal, ruthlessly funny, and weirdly tender, And Then The Rodeo Burned Down, from three-time Edinburgh Fringe First Award winners Xhloe and Natasha, is a rowdy, lightning-fast story of ambition, heartbreak, and the cost of pursuing the thing you love. Fake cigarettes, real fire. And Then the Rodeo Burned Down is now playing at Ars Nova.

Birthright
What begins as a reunion among six young friends after a Birthright trip to Israel becomes, over the span of nearly two decades, an exploration of identity, memory, and what it means to belong. As these friends grow up and the world around them shifts in ways they could never have imagined, they find themselves confronting seismic questions: How do we carry the weight of history? How do we define who we are, and who we want to be? And what happens when the narratives we inherit no longer fit the lives we’re living? Birthright begins perfromances at the Newman Mills Theater on June 16.

Girl, Interrupted
This shattering new take on Susanna Kaysen’s groundbreaking memoir is written by Martyna Majok.

Heated Rivalry
Inspired by the hit show about hockey, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody follows starry-eyed golden boy Shane Hollander on his journey from power center to power bottom. Relive all of the moments from the show that made you wet (with tears) up close on the small-stage by an incredible cast of Broadway actors who thought they were auditioning to be in Season 2. Sporting a bop-infused score, scene-stealing cameos by characters like “Rose Landry” and “Ilya’s Ass”, and time jumps absolutely no one can keep track of, audiences will find themselves hot, bothered, and probably saying, “….Girl!” Heated Rivalry is now playing at the 6th Floor Theater at The Culture Club at 530 West 27th St.

Henry VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts
The Public Theater is now presenting NAATCO’s production of Henry VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts, after a successful run in 2018, the production, adapted and directed by Stephen Brown-Fried. Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Parts 1-3, a saga of a nation spinning wildly out of control, has been condensed into two parts and will be performed in rep. Part 1: Foreign Wars kicks off with the funeral of King Henry V, leaving his infant son on the throne and sending the country into decades of spiraling chaos both abroad and at home. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later, as nascent domestic feuds rapidly metastasize into the full-blown civil war known as the War of the Roses. henry VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts is now in performances at The Public’s Newman Theater.
I’m Almost There
I’m Almost There, a critically acclaimed musical journey by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country, Gossip Girl), comes to BAM from the Edinburgh Fringe. Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit; Our Town), this whimsical yet poignant piece transplants The Odyssey into the modern world of dating. The monsters here are nosy neighbors, and the path leads through self-deprecation, heartfelt longing, and offbeat humor. The production is now running at BAM.
La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles features music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and book by Harvey Fierstein, based on the play by Jean Poiret. Georges is the suave owner of a glitzy drag club on the French Riviera. Partnered romantically with his high-strung star performer, Albin, the pair live a charmed life-until Georges’ son announces his engagement to the daughter of a conservative right-wing politician who’s coming to dinner. The cast includes Wayne Brady, Tonya Pinkins, Billy Porter, Alaman Diadhiou, James Jackson Jr., Michael McElroy, Sharon Washington, and Lance Coadie Williams. Performances begin June 17 at New York City Center.

Music City
Music City, which opened last year and was extended three times by popular demand in its run at BEDLAM, is reopening Off-Broadway. The show features original and existing songs by multi-platinum songwriter J.T. Harding, including showstoppers “Smile,” “Sangria,” and “Somewhere In My Car,” written for such artists as Darius Rucker, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Uncle Kracker, Dierks Bentley, and Florida Georgia Line, and an original book by playwright Peter Zinn. Music City follows two young singer-songwriters into The Wicked Tickle, an East Nashville bar that serves up cheap beer, open mics, and dreams of big breaks. The bar regulars bravely pursue love and music in the face of addiction, poverty, and haunting pasts. But in Nashville, heartbreak is the only thing they hand out for free. Music City is an intimate, gritty, and thrilling take on the world of beers, guitars, sawdust, and sunshine. Music City will open at St. Luke’s Theatre on June 15.
