Becoming Miss Ghana 1986 would mean fame, fortune, and prosperity. At least, that’s what Paulina—the queen bee of Aburi Girls Boarding School—believes. When the pageant recruiter comes to school, Paulina and her crew pull out all the stops. But to their surprise, a new transfer student from America kicks the competition into a higher, far more personal gear. Arriving on Broadway for the first time nearly a decade after its Off-Broadway premiere, School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play reunites the powerhouse team behind Jaja’s African Hair Braiding—Tony Award-nominated playwright Jocelyn Bioh and Tony Award-nominated director Whitney White—for this bright, biting comedy.

Featuring Tony Award® winner Danny Burstein, Tony Award® nominee Micaela Diamond, Tony®/Emmy Award nominee Jessica Hecht, Will Pullen and Tony Award® nominee Jeremy Shamos, this bold new production of Clifford Odets’ timeless masterpiece tells a story about aspiration, family and how to live with dignity in America. It’s the 1930s, and the Bronx is a furnace. New ideas clash with the old amidst the poverty and shattered promises of the Great Depression. And three generations of the Berger family, trapped inside their cramped tenement, struggle to hold different visions of an American dream and the Jewish experience. Directed by Tyne Rafaeli, this classic battle between hope and disillusionment returns to Broadway, speaking thrillingly to the crises of the present moment.

A world premiere play by two-time Olivier Award winner David Hare and directed by Olivier and Tony Award nominee Jonathan Kent, Montauk will star four-time Emmy Award winner Laura Linney. 

Since his first and most famous show, the abstract painter Jared Speight has known the catastrophe of early success, which has left him both revered and angry, living alone towards the wilder end of Long Island. Roxy Margaux (Linney) is a popular essayist, whose gift for elucidating complicated modern art has sent her books rocketing up the best-seller lists. When Roxy first visits Jared’s studio, the two embark on a relationship which will test both their strategies for survival to the limit. Funny and intelligent, Montauk asks far-reaching questions about our passions and the sacrifices we make for them.
