AUG 14 thru SEP 29
Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater
by DOUGLAS LYONS
directed by ZHAILON LEVINGSTON
If your ex wanted to meet up again, would you? Previously engaged, Jada and Dallas reunite for dinner to hash out the good, the bad, and the ugly from their romantic past. Despite the intrusion of sassy waiters, complicated memories, and their best efforts to keep things casual, the estranged couple find themselves cornered by the truth. From the author and director of CHICKEN & BISCUITS (DOUGLAS LYONS & ZHAILON LEVINGSTON), this world premiere play is a hilarious and sweet open letter to love found, lost, and possibly reignited.
This new romantic comedy stars Tony Award winner KARA YOUNG (MCC’s ALL THE NATALIE PORTMANS, PURLIE VICTORIOUS), BIKO EISEN-MARTIN (MCC’s soft) and MICHAEL RISHAWN (AIN’T NO MO’).

TROPHY BOYS
JUN 5 thru JUL 13
Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater
by EMMANUELLE MATTANA
directed by DANYA TAYMOR
“Feminism has failed women.” That is the prompt given to the debate team of an elite all-boys prep school one hour before the final match of their high school careers. As they develop compelling arguments to demolish their sister school, a “rumor” leaks about their team that threatens to blow up everything they have worked for. What begins as a riotously funny satire turns into a sharp exploration of power and privilege, from high school to the highest circles of political influence.
Following multiple sold-out runs in Australia, playwright EMMANUELLE MATTANA’s TROPHY BOYS makes its American premiere in a thrilling new production featuring Mattana as part of the cast. Directed by 2024 Tony Award®-winner DANYA TAYMOR (THE OUTSIDERS), TROPHY BOYS is a provocative comedy about the singular pursuit of victory and the cost of reaching it.
