Dixon Entertainment Presents the Off-Broadway Developmental Production of #ELeVeN

A Powerful New Theatrical Experience Exploring Identity, Trauma, Healing, and Transformation

NEW YORK, NY — June 2026 — Dixon Entertainment is proud to announce the Off-Broadway developmental production of #ELeVeN, a bold and emotionally gripping new theatrical work written and directed by Kay Dixon. The production will be presented as part of the prestigious Next Step Theatre Festival at the historic Producer's Club in the heart of Manhattan.

Scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 7:30 PM, #ELeVeN invites audiences into a suspenseful and thought-provoking journey where nothing is quite what it seems, and every revelation changes the course of the story. GET TICKETS HERE.

Blending drama, psychological tension, humor, mystery, and raw emotion, #ELeVeN follows a diverse group of individuals forced into uncomfortable confrontations with themselves, one another, and the truths they have spent years trying to avoid. As hidden wounds surface and long-buried secrets emerge, each character must decide whether they will remain trapped by their past or embrace the possibility of transformation.

"At its core, #ELeVeN is about awakening," said playwright and director Kay Dixon. "It challenges us to reconsider what we call brokenness and to recognize that what appears to be dysfunction may actually be transformation in progress." The cast, in order of appearance, includes Anissa Naji as Narrator/Dr. Karim, Tyisha Williams as Yaz, I-Asia Smith as Mom/Yeti, Ronnie Jarmon as Dad, Deborah Gross as Receptionist/Mary/Neelie, Mahmoud Sabra as Security Guard, Kay Dixon as Nurse Martha/Counselor/Therapist/Occupational Therapist/Attending Physician, Emmanuel Okeke as Rodger, Xiomie Boykin and Melonie Smith as Intake Nurses, NiGea Young as Ariel, Melonie Smith as Tyra, Yun Gao as Kim, Tyasia Shadae Niangane as Ilia, and Raheem Hamilton as Marcus.

As a developmental production, #ELeVeN represents an important step in the evolution of a new theatrical work with aspirations for continued development, expanded productions, and future theatrical opportunities. The project also serves as a collaborative platform for emerging and established artists to create meaningful, socially relevant theatre that resonates with contemporary audiences.
