PLAY HERE [ ______ ] is a full length collection of 22 plays written over “one long summer” by emerging playwright Nadira Simone. With various forms these tales showcase freedom, joy, hope, loss, and love, told from the centered point of the Black Woman.
Unique in its characters and accounts, these stories capture everyday life and the dilemmas that connect us all, or don’t. These vignettes paint portraits from the mundane to the absurdity of this world, without borders or apologies. Weaved together with one poetic voice. It is an invitation where ALL are welcome to ‘play’, to make art, to make change.
With support from The NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre by the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment in association with The New York Foundation for the Arts and The Miranda Family Fund.

directed by Estefanía Fadul
Produced by The La Paloma Prisoner Project in association with La Lucha Arts
A multi-disciplinary play about the reclamation of identity by women in the Colombian prison system. Based on the true story of a group of incarcerated women selected as beauty queen contestants at the Buen Pastor prison in Bogotá, this new play interweaves the ritualistic journey of a “parade of prisoners” within Colombia’s social, political, and spiritual history. The play centers on an infamous woman nicknamed “La Paloma” who transcendentally soars beyond physical and societal barriers to avenge the raped women of Bogotá. Her actions revolutionize the women’s lives, Bogotá’s prison society, and the world beyond its walls.

a site-specific production!
A trans love story set against the backdrop of a climate crisis. Loosely based on John Lyly’s 1585 play, Galatea tells the story of two young women from a village threatened with flooding who escape to the nearby woods disguised as boys and fall in love.

Tickets are free and will be available to reserve through a link on this site a few weeks before the show. You can now purchase premium seats through our crowdfunding campaign at indiegogo.

co-produced by Brittany Proia and Al Parker
Mag feels stuck in their small hometown, juggling an underwhelming queer scene and and overwhelming mother. Overworked museum employees try to find their joy in the face of late-stage capitalism. A dead horse won’t shut up about being dumped in the East River. And from the depths, an ancient (and cute! and terrifying!) being rises to take its rightful place.
Inspired by the Creature from the Black Lagoon, toxic algal blooms in the Great Lakes, and phone calls with your mom, this highly theatrical play de-centers humans, elevates microorganisms, and celebrates joy in the face of climate devastation.
BLOOM BLOOM POW was recently named a Finalist for the 2022 EMOS Ecodrama Playwrights Festival!
Premieres September 17 to October 2 2022 in the Gural Theatre at The ART/New York Theatres. Tickets now on sale!
