Photos: All-Female IN THE NEXT ROOM Presented By Final Girls Theater Company

Final Girls Theater Company, a newly formed indie theater company, made its New York City debut this April with an all-female production of Sarah Ruhl’s IN THE NEXT ROOM (OR: THE VIBRATOR PLAY) at The Vino Theater. See photos of the production.

The production played four performances and completed an almost sold-out run. Production photography by Sam Guttell documented the staging.

The cast featured Chiara Aiello as Mrs. Givings, Maribelle Flint as Dr. Givings, Sammy Carlucci as Mr. Daldry, Kaitlyn Hipwell as Mrs. Givings, Gillian Mackay Brown as Leo Irving, Abby Martineck as Annie, Autumn Maynard as Elizabeth, and Mikey Mor as Mrs. Daldry.

The production was directed by Brooke Hall, with Lydia Winter serving as assistant director and Gabi Benintendi as stage manager.

Founded in 2026, Final Girls Theater Company was created to provide women with additional opportunities both onstage and behind the scenes.

According to the company, the organization’s mission responds to an industry landscape in which women make up a large portion of the theater workforce while productions and leadership opportunities continue to center male artists and stories. The company’s debut production featured women in traditionally male roles alongside a leadership team composed almost entirely of women.

Final Girls stated that the production was intended to establish the company’s artistic vision moving forward: creating theater centered on women artists and expanding opportunities for female performers and creators.
