Actor, writer, and producer Sonja Devi will bring her new solo show TODAY IS A GOOD DAY, NEW YORK NEW YORK to The Gene Frankel Theatre for its World Premiere this fall.
The limited engagement will run October 30–November 22, with opening night on Thursday, October 30. The production is directed by Annaporva Green and stars Devi as Malina.
Today Is a Good Day, New York New York follows Malina, a young woman who finally trades her tiara for the truth. A modern-day Blanche DuBois—romantic, delicate, and desperate to keep her fantasy alive—she discovers that the world has other plans. What unfolds is her transformation from illusion to self-awareness, from “princess” to woman—not through clichés of empowerment, but through the messy, funny, and often painful unraveling of everything she once believed.
Today Is a Good Day, New York New York is a one-woman show about love, loneliness, and survival in the city that never sleeps. Through humor, heartbreak, and revelation, it asks what it really means to be seen—and to finally see yourself.
The creative and production team includes Marissa Todd (Set Design), Emmanuel Delgado (Lighting Design), Ariana Cardoza (Sound Design), and Chloe Schwinghammer (Stage Management).
