Not I – “Practically speechless…. all her days.”
A non-verbal woman, who was abandoned by her parents at birth and lives an uneventful life until the age of 70, suddenly hears voices and realizes it’s herself speaking.
Play – “We were not long together when she smelt a rat.”
Eternally together in the afterlife and locked in their urns, a man, his wife, and his mistress relay the sordid details of their love triangle.
Krapp’s Last Tape – “Perhaps my best years are gone…But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back”
Krapp, an aged man, reviews his life with the assistance of his younger self heard on autobiographical tape recordings.

Irish Repertory Theatre (Charlotte Moore, Artistic Director and Ciarán O’Reilly, Producing Director) announced today Not Beckett, an international rolling premiere of five new short plays presented as staged readings, which will have readings in London, Dublin, New York, Philadelphia, and at The Samuel Beckett Research Center in Reading, U.K. These plays – in conversation with Samuel Beckett’s work – will not be adaptations but will instead be loosely inspired by a seed from the Beckett canon. Written by female-identifying and non-binary playwrights of diversified Irish descent across the globe, the goal is to use the inspiration of these contemporary classic plays to create a new canon.

WAIT
Written and performed by FELISPEAKS

Wait is about a woman who dreams on behalf of her husband and learns pretty quickly that she must dream for herself.
I CAN’T REMEMBER THE
By Nicola McCartney
Directed by Barbara Rubin
Featuring Orlagh Cassidy, Katherine Laheen, & Waseem Alzer
Three people are trapped in a deceased relative’s attic searching for a missing item which is vital to their future. The roof is leaking and looks like it might collapse.
NEVER APOLOGIZE
By Jennifer Barclay
Directed by Barbara Rubin
Featuring Orlagh Cassidy, Diane Davis, & Genevieve Ngosa Daniels
Three basketball players form a triangle offense; three different stages of life, and three different stages of the game. A story of rabid competition, true genius, and the terror of mediocrity — breathing the rhythm of the court and cracking open the limits of the human body.
DUET
Written and directed by Olwen Fouéré
Featuring Joe Grifasi & Katherine Laheen
A duet for the end of the world. Two human migrants at a specific point in their journey. Are they the last humans on earth?
THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER’S SON
By Hannah Khalil
Directed by Nicola Murphy Dubey
Featuring Olwen Fouéré
In a hospital room a woman tells a story to a patient. It’s a story that they have been told many times before, but never quite like this. This time the woman is telling it her way. Like it or not.

WINTER WORKSHOP SERIES
FEATURING CLASSES FROM
JASMINE BATCHELOR, BENJA KAY THOMAS, AND MARIA MÜLLER
FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT MCCTHEATER.ORG
MCC Theater (Bernie Telsey and Will Cantler, Co-Artistic Directors; Blake West, Executive Director) announced a series of workshops to take place this winter as part of their public engagement programming. The workshops will be held at the MCC Theater Space (511 West 52nd Street).
HOW TO WARM UP
Facilitated by Jasmine Batchelor
Tuesday February 18, 6-8pm
This is an in-depth workshop on warming up vocally and physically for a theatrical piece. Participants will be provided with vocal warm up sheets and should plan to bring a yoga mat or towel to lie down on and bottle of water.
CREATING CHARACTER
Facilitated by Benja Kay Thomas
Wednesday February 19, 6-8pm
In this workshop, participants will develop a new character from page to performance, facilitated by an Obie and AUDELCO Award winning actor.
BEYOND WORDS: EXPLORING LANGUAGE, MEMORY, AND EMPATHY THROUGH THEATER
Facilitated by Maria Müller
Thursday February 20, 6-8pm
In this workshop, participants will explore language through the lens of multicultural and multilingual experiences. Drawing from Maria’s own journey as someone who was born outside of the US and whose first language is not English, she will guide participants in understanding how language can both empower and challenge us. Through theater games centered around language—or the absence of it—we will engage in exercises that stimulate attention, memory, and empathy. Together, we will discover how communication can transcend words, revealing the many ways we connect, express, and understand one another. Whether language is a barrier or a bridge, we will explore how it can be reclaimed as a powerful resource.
All workshops are open to the public ages 14 and up with a $50 registration fee. These courses will run concurrently with the winter break schedule for all New York City public schools, allowing both young people and teachers to participate. To register, please visit mcc.theater/WinterWorkshops for more details. Additional workshops will be announced at a later date.

22) “OPERATION MINCEMEAT:
DIGITAL LOTTERY & IN-PERSON RUSH
Digital Lottery
Feeling lucky? Digital Lottery tickets will be available via rush.telecharge.com for $39 each, daily. Starting from February 13th, ahead of the first preview on February 15th, participants will have a chance to enter to win tickets throughout the Broadway run.
In-Person Rush
A limited number of In-Person Rush tickets will be available at the Golden Theatre box office for $49 each for the day of the performance.
The box office is open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM ET – 6 PM ET. Beginning Saturday February 15, the box office hours are Monday through Saturday, 10AM ET – 8PM ET, and Sunday from 12 PM ET – 6 PM ET.
This extraordinary debut musical is written and composed by the comedy troupe, SpitLip, comprised of David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson and Zoë Roberts. The decision to write it was the last roll of the dice from the quartet of young British creatives after years of performing sketch shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and echoes the journey of Beyond the Fringe from the world-famous quartet Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Dudley Moore, which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1960, before moving to the Fortune Theatre and later to the Golden in 1962.
In Operation Mincemeat, it’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.
