For our first
production of our long-anticipated re-opening, Playwright, master
of comedy and award-winner Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Fox on
the Fairway) brings us a romantic comedy — a love story set
during WWII about a young soldier courting his sweetheart — a young
actress on Broadway. What starts with long distance letter writing
ends in a “sweep you off your feet” meeting in Times Square. This
funny, touching, patriotic and uplifting story, based on the
playwright’s parents, is just the “Welcome Home to George Street
Playhouse” that we all need! Come fall in love with live theatre
all over again.

Associate Artist Laiona Michelle (Little Girl Blue,
American
Hero) helms this fascinating new play about
Nigerian American immigrants, and opens our eyes to the
Nigerian culture, especially as it becomes assimilated in
America. Reminiscent of an Arthur Miller family
drama, Ms. Udofia’s moving work, which The New York Times
called “extraordinary,” touches on universal themes of
mother-daughter relationships, forgiveness, reconciliation,
and the struggle associated with leaving our countries of
origin behind, while still holding on to the rich cultural
heritage. We are proud to be producing Ms. Udofia’s work
directed by Ms. Michelle.

We are honored to welcome the extremely
talented, award-winning Director/ Choreographer Julio Monge
who brings us the American English language premiere of the
iconic Puerto Rican Academy Award nominee Jacobo Morales. “Baipás”
(a byway detour from the main road) presents a magical
world in which two very diverse, strong individuals are
thrown into a strange place together and using the
legendary sensuous Bolero, come to choose life and love. As
this man and woman dance through the byways of love between
clarity and confusion with a healthy dose of sarcastic
humor, they arrive in an unexpected place. A romantic pas
de deux!
