Mala Aria by Gloria Majule, directed by Jamil A.C. Mangan, was the winner of the 2025 Premiere Play Festival, the theatre's annual competition for unproduced scripts written by playwrights affiliated with the greater metropolitan area. In this new play, Amazia, hoping to discover a way to eradicate Malaria, leaves her family in Tanzania to pursue a PhD abroad. Experiences with love and loss force her to decide between staying in the West and going back home to honor a promise. Majule is a storyteller born and raised in Dodoma, Tanzania, and has been awarded a MacDowell Fellowship and commissions by Audible, Atlantic Theater Company, and Princeton University.
