In a dusty East Texas barn, five teenage girls are raising calves for auction — and wrestling with what it means to be good at school, at God, and at girlhood. That's the world of Calf Scramble, the fiercely original new play by Libby Carr now running at 59E59 Theaters through April 12, presented by Primary Stages in association with Jamie deRoy. Directed by Caitlin Sullivan, this darkly funny coming-of-age tale is soaked in sweat, scripture, and competition, where faith tangles with survival and tenderness bucks like a wild animal.
Primary Stages hosted its 2025 Fall Gala on Monday, October 20, at Sony Hall, honoring Thom Sesma with the Einhorn Mentorship Award and Mickey Rolfe with the Andrew Leynse Commitment to New Plays Award. See photos of the event.
