SheNYC Arts Reveals 2024 Festival Lineup of Eight New Full-Length Shows Selected
The SheNYC shows are selected after a rigorous, blind, months-long selection process out of over 450 submissions from around the globe.
SheNYC Arts has announced their lineup for the 2024 SheNYC Summer Theater Festival. The Festival will run from July 30-August 11, 2024, at the East Village's Connelly Theater with both an in-person audience and select digital performances. The SheNYC shows are selected after a rigorous, blind, months-long selection process out of over 450 submissions from around the globe.
The 2024 SheNYC Summer Theater Festival will present two original full-length musicals: The Angel Makers by Amanda Freedman (Book & Lyrics) and Lorenzo Pipino (Music & Lyrics), and Borderland by Natalie Elizabeth Weiss (Book, Music, & Lyrics).
The Festival will also present six new full-length plays: The Bookstore by Nancy Marie, FISH MEAT by Esmé Maria Ng, Mere Waters by Jillian Blevins, Mud; or when things get messy and how we live with it by Camille Simone Thomas, and The Station by Maggie Cregan. The sixth play is a yet-to-be-titled new piece from SheNYC's 2024 Resident Playwright, Kristen Milburn.
"SheNYC is presenting such compelling work this summer. Each of these playwrights brings a unique perspective and a story that urgently needs to be told to this year's Festival," says SheNYC Executive Producer Ari Conte. "I'm thrilled to be working with these artists and love seeing our SheNYC community and audience grow each year."
Tickets to the performances will be on sale on June 3. All performances will comply with state and local COVID-19 safety guidelines. Learn more about each show at www.SheNYCArts.org/She-NYC.
SheNYC's sister festival in Los Angeles, The SheLA Summer Theater Festival, announced its lineup last week. The SheLA Festival will present 5 new full-length works: Blanche Stuart Scott by Kristen Ritter, Break by Caroline Ullman, here comes the night by Lisa Kenner Grissom, Zora and Langston by Imani Mitchell, and the new musical Ink & Paint by Danielle E. Moore.
