'Yoniverse' (formerly known as 'Yoni Ki Kahaniya,') is an original and contemporary play written by four South Asian women from the Greater Los Angeles area.

Immerse yourself in the world of 'Sabbath's Theater', a world premiere play adapted from Philip Roth's novel by John Turturro and Ariel Levy. Don't miss this provocative and profound exploration of mortality and celebration of life.

HERE's 30th anniversary season exemplifies this vision of creating a home for artists who blend multiple genres—theatre, dance, music and opera, puppetry, media, visual art and installation, spoken word and performance art—and defy categorizations.

First staged almost 30 years ago, The Vagina Monologues still resonates in today's world: the taboo around the vagina, the sexual violence, the ignorance, or shame around the sexual pleasure are all issues we're still facing nowadays. The vagina has a lot to say. 

Tickets go on sale today for the second annual Edinburgh Deaf Festival following yesterday's programme launch – which featured an invitation for everyone to come along. 

This is our first production since October. We are no longer dark! To celebrate our return we’ve decided to make The Vagina Monologues a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio. New Herring is donating the net proceeds from the production to support women’s reproductive rights and freedoms. So make plans to see these talented women share this profound and provocative play.  Written by Eve Ensler, The Vagina Monologues explores a wide range of issues that have a direct impact on women, their bodies, and their health. The play is a beautiful piece of theatre that celebrates women of various ages, races, sexualities, transgender and other differences. It is a provocative play, with profound resonance in a post-Roe vs Wade era. Performances run June 8 - 25, 2023, at MadLab, 227 N 3rd Street, Columbus, Ohio.  For more information or to purchase tickets, visit https://www.redherringtheater.org/
