The play is the fruit of the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s New Play Development Program. While other challenging pieces tackle racism or sexism, this one digs into ageism, specifically for women. 

Told through music, movement and lyrical storytelling, New Age at Milwaukee Rep follows four women at different junctures in life as they contend with their sexuality, insecurities and legacies.

 Milwaukee Rep will present the world premiere presentation of New Age by Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith in the Stiemke Studio March 22 – May 1, 2022.  New Age follows four women at different junctures in life as they contend with their sexuality, insecurities and legacies. 

The Theatre @ Boston Court presents COLLECTIVE RAGE: A PLAY IN 5 BOOPS, A West Coast Premiere written by Jen Silverman and directed by Lindsay Allbaugh. Collective Rage is presented on the Main Stage at Boston Court Performing Arts Center in Pasadena, CA.

Laura Eason's contemporary play is more than just an economical choice for small theaters (just two actors) about a hot topic. It asks provocative questions, too: How far to bend toward commercialism, as an ambitious artist with high aspirations? Can two people from different sides of a digital divide build lasting relationship? Can we adopt a performative 'public' identity to get famous and rich without having it sully our actual way of being?
