PENGUIN REP THEATRE PRESENTS

GENE & GILDA

Comic geniuses Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein) and Gilda Radner (Saturday Night Live) had a love like no other.

What started as a friendship on a movie set grew into an electric and enduring romance. In this heartfelt and hilarious new play, Wilder and Radner share their love and their laughter with us, even as they navigate some of life’s hardest challenges.

SHADOW OF HER FATHER

WITH BRIAN DYKSTRA, KATE LEVY, AND KATE SIAHAAN-RIGG

A dot-com billionaire pays an esteemed American theatre company to translate Shakespeare into English (Wait. What?). A sly comedy inspired by an unbelievably true story.

To sell out or not to sell out—is that the question?

Ava leads a mundane life, working at a pet store by day and caring for her adoptive father at night as he suffers severe PTSD from his time in the Vietnam War.

When a stranger knocks on her door, he sparks a passion and rebellion in her that changes everything, inspiring Ava to discover her true identity and confront her father’s secrets.

GOVERNMENT

BY

It’s summer in Washington, DC and three congressional interns are fielding constituent calls before yet another workplace lockdown begins.

While everyone outside investigates a suspicious red Camry, they find themselves stuck in the one place no one has ever wanted to work overtime: the US government.

A comedy with heart, This is Government grapples with the real-time consequences of political disarray.

HOME?

A PALESTINIAN WOMAN’S PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY & HAPPINESS

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY HEND AYOUB

DIRECTED BY CAREY PERLOFF

In Israel, she’s Palestinian. In the Arab world, she’s Israeli. In America, she’s an “other.”

Through a panoply of vivid characters including her five-yearold self, an Egyptian casting director, her dying mother, and many others, Home? follows the true story of Hend Ayoub’s journey to define her identity and find a place where she belongs.

“HOME? PUTS WIT AND WARMTH ON THE MAP”

MARK JASTER AND SABRINA MANDELL WITH STEPHANIE BAIRD, GWEN GRASTORF, MARK JASTER, SABRINA MANDELL, JAMES OWENS, AND SARAH OLMSTED THOMAS

Dreadful Episodes is a hilarious and virtuosic theatrical collage adorned with live music and physical comedy, inspired by the illustrations of Edward Gorey, Victorian reverie, ill-fated romance, calamitous croquet, and the dangers of windy cliffs. Join us this autumn when the veil is thin to enjoy all things witty and macabre.

“WICKEDLY FUNNY...A GOREY ILLUSTRATION BROUGHT TO LIFE”

— WASHINGTON POST

$44 (59E59 Members $30)

A unique showcase of 15 New York shows headed to Scotland for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the largest arts festival in the world).

East to Edinburgh was created as a way to help shows get on their feet so companies experience the same production constraints that all shows experience during the Fringe, while giving companies a clean, comfortable, and nurturing space to fine-tune their productions.

Visit our website for the full lineup of East to Edinburgh shows!

THEATER J PRESENTS

THIS MUCH I KNOW

A psychology professor’s search for his missing wife launches us on a time-hopping fugue, weaving together the stories of Stalin’s daughter defecting to America, the son of a white supremacist growing to doubt the beliefs he was raised with, and the secret despair of becoming an accidental killer.

Inspired by the book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman about the science of decisionmaking, Jonathan Spector takes us on an explosively theatrical interrogation of how we make decisions, how we change our minds, and how much responsibility we bear for the things we do not control.
