Performances run November 23 – December 20, 2025 at Theater 154.
Colt Coeur will present the World Premiere of The Surgeon and Her Daughters, a new play by Chris Gabo (In Treatment, HBO) directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt. The production will run November 23 – December 20 at Theater 154 (154 Christopher Street, New York, NY).
About the Play
When a Marine sergeant major disappears during a surprise deployment, her daughters must navigate her absence—and the mysterious man who arrives in her wake. As grief floods their home, a rose vine creeps beneath the couch and secrets begin to surface.
Described as “a 21st century Les Misérables set in the shadows of the American Dream,” Gabo’s epic and intimate work explores family, grief, honor, and redemption. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the play examines the slipperiness of truth and justice and the feeling of being “a crab at the bottom of the barrel.”
The production will feature Brian D. Coats, Liza P. Fernandez, Yadira Guevara-Prip, Eden Marryshow, Johnny Sánchez, and Kana Seiki.
