Photos: EMPTY RIDE World Premiere At The Old Globe
Running February 8 – March 2, 2025.
Empty Ride by Keiko Green is having its Globe commissioned, world premiere in a production directed by Sivan Battat. Running February 8 – March 2, 2025, with the official opening night on Thursday, Feb. 13 at Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. See photos from the production.
A major new American play that first launched in the 2024 Powers New Voices Festival. Kisa, a painter in Paris, returns to her small Japanese hometown after the 2011 tsunami to help her ailing father by driving his taxi cab. But as she navigates the winding streets and transports her eccentric passengers, she is haunted by the supernatural remnants of what the floodwaters left behind. This Globe-commissioned world premiere from Keiko Green (Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play) is a funny and poignant story that explores the uncanny ways that love can transcend loss.
The cast of Empty Ride includes Michele Selene Ang as Kisa (Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why), Major Curda as Toru (Broadway’s The Little Mermaid), Jojo Gonzalez as Isamu (Off Broadway’s The Romance of Magno Rubio – Obie Award), Jully Lee as Sachiko (Broadway’s KPOP), and David Rosenberg as Alex (Broadway’s Death of a Salesman).
