Theater for the New City will present two operas by Leonard J. Lehrman, offering audiences parallel stories of Jewish survival and political activism. The productions include the New York City premiere of Sima and a revival of E.G.: A Musical Portrait of Emma Goldman. Both works will run in repertory and examine themes of trauma, identity, and resistance.

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, Diane Paulus, Artistic Director, is presenting multiple free events in connection to its world premiere production of Eve Ensler's O.P.C. (Obsessive Political Correctness) at the Loeb Drama Center. The events include Pre-Show Skillshares (workshops by artists, activists, and community members); a meet-and-greet with the artists behind the O.P.C. Lobby Installation; and special talkbacks with policymakers, activists and scholars, including award-winning author Naomi Klein.
