Following sold-out runs at London's Bush Theatre and the West End's Duke of York's Theatre, Shifters will make its North American debut at Cherry Lane Theatre, New York's oldest Off-Broadway theatre, with previews beginning July 6th and an official opening set for July 15th, running through August 30th, 2026.
This epic and universal love story follows Dre and Des: young, gifted, and Black. He stayed. She left. Years later, they come crashing back into each other's lives, carrying new secrets and old scars. Caught between memory and reality, they must navigate the shifting borders that threaten to rewrite their past and reshape their future.
