SheNYC Arts, the country's premier program for showcasing up-and-coming gender-marginalized writers and composers, has announced their lineup for the 2023 SheNYC Summer Theater Festival.

The Festival will run from July 26-August 6, 2023, at the East Village's Connelly Theater with both an in-person audience and select digital performances. The SheNYC shows are selected after a rigorous, blind, months-long selection process out of over 300 submissions from around the globe.

The 2023 SheNYC Summer Theater Festival will present three original full-length musicals: 0874: A Filipino-American Love Story by Alexandra Palting (music co-composed by Baz King), Bloom by Gillian Fox Orwoll (book & lyrics co-written by Grace Lazos), and Chasing Grace by Elizabeth Addison.

The Festival will also present five new full-length plays: Finding Olive by Samantha Stone, First Sight: A Queer Indonesian Love Story by Dena Igusti, It's A Free Country by Leigh Flayton, The Moss Maidens by S. Dylan Zwickel, and Radio Man by Sarah Groustra.

Tickets to the performances will be on sale on June 1. All performances will comply with state and local COVID-19 safety guidelines. Learn more about each show at www.SheNYCArts.org/She-NYC.
