The New Natives To Premiere Andrew Bovell's HOLY DAY At The New Ohio In 2019

The New Natives Theatre Company, a New York City-based artistic collective co-founded by Charly Clive and Jillian Geurts, announce an ambitious third season featuring the American premiere of Andrew Bovell's "Holy Day". The play, which grapples with themes of race, gender and the politics of memory, is an exploration of Australia's difficult and complex colonial history. The show will be directed by Barbara Rubin and features an international cast, including Indigenous Australian actress Chenoa Deemal, in her New York City theatre debut.

The play is rarely seen outside of Australia and is set for a three week run at the New Ohio Theatre in Spring 2019. A confronting and at times devastating look at life on the White frontier, "Holy Day" is the story of those caught in the battle between stolen pasts and new beginnings.

Cast and creative team to be announced in the coming months. Auditions will be held in late November. For more information visit http://thenewnatives.net/.
