1) + Erbe: A Forest in the City
Step into +Erba: A Forest in the City, an enchanting interactive performance where two dancers and your children co-create a vibrant, ever-changing world. One dancer sketches colorful homes and winding streets, while the other brings the earth to life with trees, insects, and lush green spaces. With breathtaking digital projections, their ideas spring from movement into a magical city that grows, shifts with the seasons, and welcomes children to add color, characters, and imagination. But when a towering factory threatens to chase nature away, young audiences help redesign a brighter, greener future—complete with a joyful “tree concert.”
As part of the presentation of +Erba: A Forest in the City, Two River is very proud to make available multiple student matinee performances for area grade/grammar schools. As an extension of our Have a Seat program, these performances will be offered to school groups free of charge, continuing Two River’s dedication of accessible theater for everyone.

3) Antigone in Analysis
This contemporary makeover of Antigone reimagines the classical Greek myth with a metaphysical twist: a salon of great thinkers from across time conjures Sophocles’ play, putting Jocasta on the throne to square off with Antigone. Their meddling erupts in a mother-daughter throwdown that interrogates patriarchal storytelling through a feminist lens. And there is no battle more fiercely fought than that between a daughter and her mother.

4) Becky Shaw
A blind date spirals spectacularly off the rails in BECKY SHAW, the razor-sharp dark comedy from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo. When it made its New York premiere Off-Broadway at Second Stage, BECKY SHAW left critics and audiences reeling. Now, this hilarious hit play is back and it's making its Broadway debut. Strap yourselves in— BECKY SHAW will make you laugh, gasp, and maybe take a break from dating...permanently.

5) The Fear of 13
The Fear of 13 tells the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris, who spends more than two decades on death row for a murder he insists he did not commit. Through a series of prison visits with a volunteer named Jacki, Nick traces a life shaped by impulse and consequence. As Nick and Jacki’s conversations deepen, the line between witness and participant blurs, forcing both to confront what justice demands, what belief requires, and the perilous distance between true freedom and the illusion of self determination. By turns devastating, darkly funny, and life-affirming, The Fear of 13 is a powerful exploration of truth and trust, conscience and connection.

7) Iris Bahr's Stories from the Brink
Iris Bahr’s seventh solo show, Stories From the Brink, is a wild, touching and hilariously poignant journey through her near death adventures, from her fragmented childhood in the Bronx, to a peripatetic adulthood traipsing across the globe, culminating in a surprise return to Tel Aviv, now taking care of her mother with dementia, where things come full circle. It is a true tale of adventure, escape, thrills and terrors, and evolution through perpetual movement.
SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam St.)
3/18 - 4/3
8) Plan C
In “PLAN C,” Hook & Eye Theater’s darkly funny, time-collapsing caper of resistance, resourcefulness, and rebellion, 17th-century espionage collides with a modern small-town shop. 1620 Brussels - imperial postmistress Alexandrine Von Taxis moves more than mail through the empire’s hands during The Thirty Years’ War. Present-day West Virginia - Charley Gibson runs her family’s hardware store, where lockers hide more than tools. “PLAN C” exposes how rebellion takes shape - through wit, nerve, and crossing a line.
Using movement, original music, and ensemble-driven storytelling “PLAN C” theatrically flips between two eras to create a madcap theatrical experience that reflects the complexities of the present moment. With Hook & Eye’s signature devising style, this nine-person ensemble brings to life a fierce and funny story of whispers, defiance, and impossible choices. “PLAN C” asks what it takes to keep hope alive in times of surveillance and silence.

11) Transcendency Rising Short Plays About Defying Limitations
The production features six new plays exploring various aspects of transcendence – or moving beyond challenging circumstances – to reach higher ground, all written by an extraordinary roster of playwrights including Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award winner John Patrick Shanley (Doubt, Moonstruck), Tony Award nominee Lyle Kessler (Orphans), and Tony Award nominee Bekah Brunstetter (The Notebook, “This Is Us”), alongside acclaimed writers Cate Allen (Lick), Kathryn Grant (The Good Counselor), and Jeff Tabnick (The Intimacy Effect).

13) The Land
Set against the devastating backdrop of the Second Intifada in 2000 through Operation Cast Lead in 2009, THE LAND looks at the catastrophic mistakes in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that have led to the present cycle of violence through the eyes of two women, the Palestinian Amirah and the Israeli Tamara, on either side of the political divide. The play explores the roots of the ongoing violence throughout the decade following the Oslo Accords, and ends with Operation Cast Lead that devastated Gaza in late 2008. The play's setting is Jerusalem, but its story is a powerful, emotional, and provocative exploration of humanity's universal struggle to co-exist on a fragile planet.

14) Spread
At a high school in Austin, Texas, four ninth-grade boys gather at lunchtime to make “spread,” or “Texas prison brick” from their snacks – dry ramen, hot chips, beef jerky, beans, hot water, all cooked in a bag. Jeffrey, Andrew, Chris, and Jordan play fight, tease, talk shit, and try their absolute best to be friends to each other on the brink of adulthood. Spread offers a glimpse inside the fullness of all a ninth-grade lunchtime might contain: all the brutal, sweet ways we might try to be with one another.

Albany, New York
Friday, March 20, 2026 at 7PM
Ballet Hispánico New York - the nation’s largest Latino dance organization - announces CARMEN.maquia at The Egg at Empire State Plaza in Albany on Friday, March 20, 2026 at 7PM. Tickets start at $42 and are available here.
Ballet Hispánico New York performed at The Egg’s Grand Opening Weekend in 1978. Nearly five decades later, as The Egg celebrates its 2026 re-hatching after renovations, it is thrilled to welcome Ballet Hispánico back to help usher in this next chapter.
Since her debut in 1875, Carmen, the titular character from Bizet’s opera, has become a timeless cultural icon, inspiring generations of composers, choreographers, and writers to attempt to capture her elusive and alluring nature. Ballet Hispánico honors the powerful Spanish leading lady with Gustavo Ramirez Sansano’s electrifying CARMEN.maquia. One of today’s most sought-after choreographers, Sansano’s quintessential ballet invigorates this timeless tale with an unrelenting energy that leaves you breathless. Highly original and full of explosive movement, CARMEN.maquia is a bold reimagining of this tragic tale.

21) “FIGHT BACK”
THE IMMERSIVE THEATRICAL EXPERIMENT
CREATED BY DAVID WISE
RETURNS TO NEW YORK CITY
ON MARCH 19, 2026 AT 7:00PM
AT THE CENTER
Creator David Wise announced today that Fight Back, the immersive theatrical experience, will return to New York City with a one-night-only event on March 19, 2026 at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center (208 W 13th St). This will be the sixth presentation since the experiment’s inception in March 2024.
The premise of this theatrical experiment is simple: It’s the March 13, 1989 meeting of ACT UP New York, the passionate group taking direct action to fight AIDS. But – there are no actors and there’s no audience. When participants come to Fight Back, from the minute they arrive, they are a person attending the meeting.
.Participants get a biographical profile of their persona and instructions for how to engage. Some (self-selected) people will also get details about specialized roles they’ll have at the meeting. Every persona will be an actual person who was at that meeting. When participants register for Fight Back, they will fill out a brief questionnaire so that they get matched with a persona that suits them.
For more information and to sign up, please visit www.fightback.nyc . A $19.89 donation is required for all participants.

152 WEST 26TH STREET – NYC
FRIDAY, MARCH 20 @ 7PM
Lorna Dallas, one of cabaret’s most acclaimed and cherished artists and the recipient of a 2020 Bistro Award for “Consummate Cabaret Artistry,” returns to Chelsea Table + Stage on Friday, March 20 at 7pm with an all-new show entitled ”The Cabaret Files”, her latest collection of musical memories.
Spring is considered a time for renewal. It’s also known to be a time for reflection. In her latest cabaret offering, “The Cabaret Files,” Lorna Dallas does just that. She revisits musical moments she essayed during those ten years following her return, some of which haven’t been performed in a club since 2016, while also introducing a handful of selections that were arranged for her over the years by her ace production team, musical director Christopher Denny and director Barry Kleinbort, but, for one reason or another, never made the final cut. “The Cabaret Files” is guaranteed to be a pleasurable reunion, including imaginatively arranged gems by Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerry Herman, James Taylor, and a favorite of Ms. Dallas’, the British composer, Ivor Novello.
Lorna Dallas: The Cabaret Files plays the Chelsea Table + Stage (152 West 26th Street) on Friday, March 20 at 7:00pm. Tickets range from $23 cover charge for bar seating, $33 cover charge for general table seating, $44 for premium table seating, as well as a $25 food and beverage minimum.
