Holland Taylor & Ana Villafañe to star in N/A at the Newhouse this summer

[quizking101]

Emmy Award® winner Holland Taylor (“The Practice,” Ann) and Theatre World Award winner Ana Villafañe (On Your Feet) star as two congresswomen, generations apart. From Congressional aide, turned playwright Mario Correa and Tony Award®-winning director Diane Paulus (Jagged Little Pill) a world premiere play about power, politics, and the perilous path to progress.

N/A is a whip-smart battle of wills — and wits — between N, the first woman Speaker of the House, and A, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Inspired by real people and events, this riveting two-hander illuminates the most powerful woman in American history… and the once-in-a-generation political talent who defied her.
 

Starting June 11th for 8 weeks only!

I went to LincTix to see if this was there and it's not. Thank you for the confirmation!

Yeah, I was a little bummed NGL, but I’ll still find a way to go. Hopefully it pops on TDF

I have no doubt it'll be on TDF or other discount/papering services. Maybe even gets a LincTix-style rate down the line. These aren't money-names who sell out a commercial production of a play for 8 weeks.

This key art is dreadful! Looks like AI renderings. Same producing team as Ohio State, Pics from Home, and Purlie, which all had even worse art...

Well that art makes it a lot more obvious what this is than I’d thought they’d be.

And yet one could also read it as a story of a lesbian love affair? (Which might be more interesting than a play about Pelosi & AOC)

Yikes, that really is some awful art. Good thing this is only running 8 weeks.

And wow this must be starting rehearsal next week. That's a very fast production timetable. Why only announce it now?
