Evanston Salt Costs Climbing, by Will Arbery, directed by Danya Taymor. Performances begin Fall 2022 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre).

Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Arbery confronts humanity's deepest fears with surreal humor, warmth and the fortitude of municipal public servants in Evanston Salt Costs Climbing, a play about climate and change. This New York premiere is directed by Danya Taymor.

The Seagull/Woodstock, NY, by Thomas Bradshaw, directed by Scott Elliott. Performances begin Winter 2023 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre).

With this world premiere of The Seagull/Woodstock, NY, playwright Thomas Bradshaw (Intimacy, Burning) returns to The New Group bringing a fresh, fun, emphasis to Chekhov's sharp satirical eye for the self-absorption and emotional volatility of ambitious artists, directed by Scott Elliott.

Bernarda's Daughters, by Diane Exavier, directed by Dominique Rider. Performances begin Spring 2023 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre).

Debut playwright Diane Exavier creates a sensual and entrancing portrait of a family at a crossroads, freely inspired by Federico García Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba. Directed by Dominique Rider, this marks the world premiere of Bernarda's Daughters, which debuted as an audio play from The New Group Off Stage with Audible Originals in March 2022.
