46 Plays for America’s First Ladies

Written by Genevra Gallo-Bayiates, Sharon Greene, Chloe Johnston, Bilal Dardai, and Andy Bayiates
directed by Shanan Custer // October 1–16, 2022

Following our productions of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents, (2012) and the remounted and updated 45 Plays for 45 Presidents (2016), we have a ‘hot off the press’ and unpublished 46 Plays for America’s First Ladies. The show is 46 short plays (dramas, comedies, even mini-musicals) about each of the First Ladies, from Martha Washington to Jill Biden. It’s simultaneously historical, poignant, educational, silly, and inspiring.
