Now Playing & Upcoming Shows

THE ATTIC THEATER COMPANY and TED CAINE are pleased to present the world premiere production of JERICHO, by Academy Award nominee (Ragtime) and Drama Desk award-winning playwright Michael Weller (Moonchildren), directed by artistic director Laura Braza (Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone?). JERICHO will play a four-week limited engagement at The Wild Project (195 E 3rd St, New York, NY 10009). Performances begin Saturday, January 20 and continue through Saturday, February 10, 2018. Opening Night is Thursday, January 25 (7:00 p.m.). $26 (includes $1 facility fee) tickets available at www.thewildproject.com
Based on the play LILIOM by Hungarian master Ferenc Molnár (which inspired Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel), JERICHO by award-winning screenwriter and playwright Michael Weller, revolves around the love affair between a scoundrel carousel barker and a maid at a Catholic Young Women’s Inn. His confused violent passion and her simple unshakable devotion, form the combustible heart of this dark fairytale for grown-ups. Staying true to Molnár’s marginal Budapest, Weller sets JERICHO at Coney Island during the Great Depression of the 1930s; a place and time when work was scarce, and life was a matter of desperate survival.
Featuring Broadway veteran Stephanie Pope* (Pippin, Fosse, Chicago and Chicago National Tours, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Jelly’s Last Jam, The Will Rogers Follies, Sweet Charity, Big Deal), Ginna Doyle* (An American Daughter and Orpheus in the Berkshires at Williamstown), Noelle Franco* (Les Liaisons Dangereuses at Center Stage; TV’s Blue Bloods), Vasile Fluter (Tamburlaine at Theater for A New Audience), Jerzy Gwiazdowski* (Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe), Erinn Holmes* (Disgraced at Fulton Theatre), Jamal James* (Shakespeare In Love at Baltimore Center Stage), Hannah Sloat* (War Horse on Broadway), and Jack Sochet* (Cora and Dave are Getting Older at EST, Word to the Action at The Public; TV’s Gotham).
JERICHO is produced by Ted Caine, with scenic and prop design by Julia Noulin-Merat, lighting design by Daniel Chapman, and sound design by Matthew Fischer. Miriam Saltzman is the stage manager, and Mariah Pepper Berkowitz is the assistant stage manager.

Tickets are $40 and are available at www.14streety.org/hanna. For more information, visit www.themoonlitdress.com.
Hanna and the Moonlit Dress is back in NYC to kick off the New Year following the first North American tour, making stops in Houston, Baltimore, Toronto and Detroit.
Hanna and the Moonlit Dress is an interactive musical revealing the magic of a good deed, based on the classic Israeli tale “Hanna’s Sabbath Dress” by Itzhak Schweiger-Dmi’el, adapted for the stage by Yoav Gal and Ronit Muszkatblit.
Overjoyed with her new dress, Hanna runs to show it to her friends: Zuzi the dog and Edna the cow. Little does she know what a meaningful adventure awaits her...
“Based on Itzhak Schweiger-Dmi’el’s classic tale, this interactive musical tells the story of a young girl who helps a coal miner and ends up with black spots all over her new Shabbat dress (a gift from her mother). Little does she know she'll be rewarded for her kindness.” - Time Out New York
Hanna and the Moonlit Dress is a delightful musical revealing the mysterious power of good deeds. Developed at the 14th Street Y and LABA: A Laboratory for Jewish Culture, Hanna’s story brings new Jewish / Israeli culture to life.
This magical interactive journey with beautiful special effects, live music, and set created by the audience transports children into Hanna’s enchanted world. Recommended for ages 2-8. (15 minute workshop and 40 minutes show with no intermission)
“Hanna and the Moonlit Dress Provides an Alternative Holiday Experience...delightful and inspiring....a good exploration of a religious tradition of the non-Christmas variety.”
- Miles Harter, ZEALnyc
“An absolute delight from start to finish!” - Jill Valentino, beyourbestmom.com
“Beautifully, visually done; the idea of cutouts, and everything being white, and made out of paper, it’s really magical.” - Adi Ezroni, Israeli TV star and film producer
“A winning combination, a simpler day in time; Storytelling that captures the attentions of children with music deeply symbolic of the Sabbath.” - Squeegi.com
The cast features Case Watson, Kate Mullberry, Matt Webster, Hannah Seusy, and Jordan Silver. Directed by Ronit Muszkatblit, with musical direction by Emily Erikson; music by Rafi Ben-Moshe and Yoav Gal; music arrangement by Uri Scharlin; book adaptation, translation and lyrics by Gina Bonati and Ronit Muszkatblit; set and costumes by Yoav Gal; and Lighting Design by Josh Benghiat and Kryssy Wright.

THE IN[HEIR]ITANCE PROJECT and THE THEATER AT THE 14TH STREET Y are pleased to present THE GENESIS PLAYS, created in a collaborative process led by Jon Adam Ross and directed by Chantal Pavageaux. THE GENESIS PLAYS, a collection of plays inspired by stories in the book of Genesis, will perform in rep during a three-week limited engagement at The Theater at the 14th Street Y (344 E 14th St at 1st Ave, New York, NY 10003) and are funded with generous support by The Covenant Foundation. Performances begin Tuesday, May 1st and continue through Friday, May 18, 2018. Tickets are $18 (or see three plays for $14 each with a Flex Pass) and are now available online at www.14streety.org
Each GENESIS PLAY is inspired by the narrative of a matriarch or patriarch from the book of Genesis and devised with communities in a different city. THE ABRAHAM PLAY (Twin Cities 2015) follows a Wall Street stock jock searching for a lost deed in a scavenger hunt where the audience holds the clues. In THE REBECCA PLAY (Charleston 2016), the city becomes a mother playing favorites among her children, White and Black. THE JACOB PLAY (Austin 2016) is a hard-hitting, smackdown, knockout wrestling extravaganza! THE LEAH/RACHEL PLAY (Seattle 2017) investigates sisterhood using filmed interviews of sisters of all ages, live music, and ancient papyrus. And in THE SARAH PLAY (Kansas City 2017), three actors struggle with how to tell a sacred shared narrative of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish traditions, when there are multiple accounts of the truth.
Over the past three years, The In[heir]itance Project devised THE GENESIS PLAYS by entrenching themselves in five mid-sized US cities and opening up the creative process so those communities could participate and develop a deeper connection to the performance and the biblical narratives that inspire the project. The process includes text study with artists and clergy, devising workshops, open rehearsals with participating organizations and houses of worship, performance talkbacks, and community engagement events where local artists and audiences also respond to the source material.
The Genesis Plays are produced by Goode Productions for The In[heir]itance Project, with scenic design by Deb O, lighting design by Stacey Boggs, and sound design by Caroline Faustine. Rachel April is the stage manager, and Tyler Winthrop and Zija Lubin-West are the assistant stage managers.
Tickets are $18 (or see three plays for $14 each with a Flex Pass) and are now available online at www.14streety.org or by calling 646-395-4310. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the box office half-hour prior to the performance.
All box office proceeds went towards creating local grants for interfaith and cross-cultural arts creation, and in NYC, box office proceeds will go towards a grant program for interfaith and inter-racial artist collaborations through the 14th Street Y.
Running Time: Each play is approximately 70 minutes
