Mfoniso Udofia, a TV writer on 13 Reasons Why and Lessons in Chemistry, makes her LCT3 debut with a play that moves from ancestor to AI and from dream cycle to IVF cycle as its heroine races the limits of her own body. Tamilla Woodard directs a small cast in the intimate rooftop Claire Tow Theater, and it just had its opening night. If you like new plays that mix folktale and music with very current questions, this is a strong bet.
What to expect
An intimate, non-linear new play that blends ritual, music and memory, performed by a cast of four in a small house above the Vivian Beaumont. Time and space shift freely, with actors playing multiple roles. LCT3 keeps its shows affordable and sized for close-up viewing.
Good to know
- The Claire Tow Theater is at 150 West 65th Street; 66 St–Lincoln Center (1) is steps away.
- Lincoln Center Theater's LincTix program offers low-cost seats for theatergoers 21 to 35.
- The theater is small, so nearly every seat is close to the stage.
- The play deals with fertility and the body; it suits adults and older teens.
- Arrive a little early to take the elevator up to the rooftop theater.
