DOUBLE-CROSSED Comes To The Broadway Bound Festival Next Week

Double-Crossed, a new play by Glory Kadigan, will receive a workshop production this August as part of The 2025 Broadway Bound Festival. The limited engagement runs August 6–15 at AMT Theater, with a post-show talkback on August 8. Directed by Noel MacDuffie, the production features an accomplished cast of four. An official selection of the 2025 Broadway Bound Festival, Double-Crossed invites audiences aboard a luxury cruise ship where power, class, and secrets collide.

When a staff member on a luxury cruise ship is accused of theft by a wealthy guest, the normally unflappable Cruise Director is thrust into a high-stakes game of class warfare, manipulation, and shifting alliances. Her secret affair with the accused, a handsome, poverty-stricken Brazilian struggling to support his ailing mother, threatens to unravel her career, reputation, and moral compass. Meanwhile, her overworked and overlooked assistant watches her superior's unraveling with quiet calculation, possibly to her own advantage. As tensions rise and loyalties dissolve, the ship speeds toward a reckoning where no one is innocent and everyone has something to lose. Be careful who you leave in your wake.

Double-Crossed features Gabrielle Filloux (The Office! A Musical Parody/The Jerry Orbach Theatre), Jessica Kahler (Black Rabbit/Netflix Fall 2025), Ria Meer (Mr. Burns: The 10th Anniversary Concert Reading/Playwrights Horizons), and Marco Pigossi (Gen V & High Tide/Amazon).     

The creative/production team includes scenic and prop design by Nic Neipert, lighting design by Benjamin Ehrenreich, costume design by Janet Mervin, sound design/audio engineer Ian Wehrle, intimacy director Xander Jackson, and fight direction by Ron Piretti (Broadway: West Side Story, In the Heights). Stage management by Amy Ollove, assistant stage management by Lauren Komer, assistant producer/assistant stage management by Shayonna Valentin, produced by Planet Connections.

Double-Crossed runs August 6 - 15 with performances on Wednesday, August 6 at 8pm, Friday, August 8 at 5pm (followed by a talkback), Saturday, August 9 at 2pm, Wednesday, August 13 at 5pm, and Friday, August 15 at 2pm.
