Tony winner Sarah Jones (Bridge & Tunnel) plays her new solo show's first full weekend, shape-shifting through characters spanning 250 years of American history to ask who gets to tell the country's story. It's a North American premiere from National Black Theatre and Theatre for a New Audience, directed by Eric Ting. Early previews mean you see it before the reviews land — and $20 under-30 tickets sweeten the deal.
What to expect
A one-woman show in the intimate Polonsky Shakespeare Center: Jones morphs between wildly different Americans in a piece that began life as a podcast and premiered at Oxford, mixing comedy, storytelling, and character transformation. This weekend's performances are early previews, so you're seeing the show while it's still being fine-tuned ahead of its official opening.
