What’s on

The Ally

  • Drama

In Itamar Moses's tense and timely drama, Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) plays a progressive Jewish college professor who gets caught in a sticky wicket of social-justice issues when a student petitions him to sign a manifesto. The busy Lila Neugebauer (Appropriate) directs the world premiere at the Public Theater; Cherise Boothe, Elijah Jones, Michael Khalid Karadsheh, Joy Osmanski, Ben Rosenfield and Madeline Weinstein are also in the cast. 

Sally & Tom

  • Drama

Public Theater playwright-in-residence Suzan-Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog) is highly adept at picking at the scabs of unhealed racial wounds. Her new dramedy seems sure to do just that: It's about a small, well-meaning NYC theater troupe that mounts a play about the relationship between Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson, with the playwright and director in the lead roles. Steve H. Broadnax III directs the NYC premiere, presented at the Public in association with Minneapolis’s Guthrie Theater (where the play debuted in 2022). Casting has not been announced yet.
