The Hearth to Present RACECAR RACECAR RACECAR at A.R.T./New York Theatres

Due to the recent closure of The Connelly Theater, The Hearth will move their planned World Premiere of RACECAR RACECAR RACECAR by Kallan Dana (2023-2024 Clubbed Thumb Early Career Writers' Group), directed by Sarah Blush (Coach Coach at Clubbed Thumb Summerworks 2024; Redemption Story with The Associates Theater Ensemble; EVENTS at The Brick) to the Mezzanine Theatre at A.R.T./New York Theatres (502 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019). The production will run as originally scheduled, from December 6-22, 2024.

"The Connelly Theater announced last week that it would cease operations immediately due to a change in leadership at the Catholic Church, which led us scrambling to find a new venue on incredibly short notice," said The Hearth's Producing Artistic Director Julia Greer. "It is heartbreaking to lose such a valuable space to censorship and bigotry, but we were bowled over by the generosity and support of theaters big and small and are thrilled to be able to do our production as planned. "

In RACECAR RACECAR RACECAR a daughter and father embark on a shapeshifting road trip across the country, into the past, through the gelatinous terrain of their shared nightmares. So exciting, it's not safe, such a fun trip!
