En Garde Arts to Present Hansol Jung's LAST CALL, A PLAY WITH COCKTAILS, Staged in Private NYC Homes
Performances will run from September 19 to October 13.

En Garde Arts will open its 2025-2026 season with the world premiere of Last Call, a play with cocktails from the artist-led collective The Pack and Obie Award-winning playwright Hansol Jung (Wolf Play). Co-directed by Jung and Dustin Wills, this intimate, immersive, site-specific production will be staged in private homes and apartments across New York City from September 19 – October 13, 2025, with an opening night set for Thursday, September 25.
Performed for audiences of just 20-40 guests at a time, Last Call, a play with cocktails unfolds behind a bar and among the crowd, where mixers are stirred, memories are shaken, and a story begins to pour. Hosts and guests blur together in a swirl of love, grief, survival, and the fictions we swallow to feel alive. Equal parts ghost story, house party, and theatrical séance, this bold new piece invites audiences into a world not unlike our own: post-crisis, mid-recovery, and craving connection.
Last Call features a rotating cast that includes Chris Bannow, Esco Jouléy, Dorcas Leung, Brian Quijada, Nicole Villamil, and Mitchell Winter. Dramaturgy and mixology is by Lexy Leuszler.
