- The sexual harassment and discrimination she faced in her early days of working in fashion, and how her mentor at her first job continues to inspire her to mentor young women today.
- Starting her lifestyle brand MacBeth Collection in her kitchen, growing it into a multi-million-dollar company, and the lawsuits that resulted in filing for bankruptcy.
- Her first marriage at the age of 24, trading in NYC nightclubs to suburbia and PTA clubs, becoming a mother, and how working with her husband put a spotlight on their marital issues.
- Meeting her current husband Joe, the slow burn of their relationship, their Vegas elopement, how the affair affected the relationship with her children.

ANNOUNCE THAT THE WORLD PREMIERE OF
what you are now
BY SAM CHANSE
DIRECTED BY STEVE COSSON
WILL NOW BEGIN PREVIEWS ON MARCH 9, 2022
OPENING NIGHT SET FOR MARCH 17, 2022
LIMITED ENGAGEMENT THROUGH APRIL 3, 2022
TICKETS GO ON SALE FEBRUARY 7, 2022
Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST) (William Carden, Artistic Director) and The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (Doron Weber, Vice-President and Program Director) announced today that the World Premiere of what you are now by Sam Chanse (Fruiting Bodies), directed by Steve Cosson (Whisper House), and co-presented by The Civilians (Steve Cosson, Artistic Director), will now begin previews on Wednesday March 9, 2022, out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of both the production and audiences. Part of the EST/Sloan Science &
Technology Project (Graeme Gillis, Program Director; Linsay Firman, Associate Director), what you are now will now open on March 17, 2022, at EST’s Curt Dempster Theatre (545 W. 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019) for a limited run through April 3, 2022.
Pia is a passionate young researcher investigating cutting-edge new ideas about how to heal the mind from traumatic memories. But her interest is also personal, deeply intertwined with her family’s history. When a figure from the past unexpectedly shows up, urging Pia’s mother to testify about her experiences during the violence of 1970s Cambodia, unresolved histories are brought to the surface. Pia must navigate through a latticework of interconnected memories: her relationship, her brother Darany and, centrally, her mother Chantrea—making discoveries that will radically alter everyone’s lives in the present.
what you are now asks what if our memories aren’t fixed, but change each time we recall the past? This world premiere by Sam Chanse is a thrillingly insightful new play that asks the audience to move through the shifting dance between the past and present, and to consider how with new understanding we might change “who you were then” to “what you are now.”

A WHITE MAN’S GUIDE TO RIKERS ISLAND
Previews Begin March 10
After a critically acclaimed and often-extended run in 2019, A WHITE MAN’S GUIDE TO RIKERS ISLAND will return this spring for an encore run. Based on a true story, it is written by Richard Roy (Richard III with Denzel Washington) and Eric C. Webb, directed by Thomas G. Waites (Awake and Sing! starring Frances McDormand, King Richard III starring Al Pacino), and stars Richard Roy and Dillon John Collins. Previews begin March 10 at Gene Frankel Theatre with opening night slated for Saturday, March 12.
When a drunk driving incident leads to an involuntary manslaughter charge, a privileged white actor find himself serving time at Rikers Island, where the population is over 95% people of color. For the first time in his life, Rich is now a minority and his skin color makes him a target. Caught between drug lords, gang members, and his wise trans cellmate, this clueless white man must learn how to survive the violence, horniness, and mind-numbing nothingness that is prison. All while trying to find forgiveness for his crime. Oh, and at the insistence of his Corrections Officer, write A WHITE MAN’S GUIDE TO RIKERS ISLAND for submission to the National Penitentiary Press Competition. Seriously. An eye-opening look inside our broken penal system and a cautionary tale for anyone of any race.
A WHITE MAN’S GUIDE TO RIKERS ISLAND runs March 10 – April 2, Thursday – Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm. Gene Frankel Theatre is located at 24 Bond Street, between Bowery and Lafayette -- accessible from B,D,F,M trains at Broadway/Lafayette or the #6 at Bleecker.
