OFF-BROADWAY AT
New York City Center Stage I

From Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok (Cost of Living, Sanctuary City) comes an epic drama about hunting for the American Dream, finding family, and facing the ghosts you left behind. In an illegal basement apartment in Queens, multiple generations of immigrant women fight to launch a new life. But when a young Ukrainian woman comes searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago, she forces a reckoning with the impossible choices the women made to survive. Directed by Trip Cullman (We Had A World, Choir Boy), Queens chronicles the strivers who sacrificed whole worlds for the chance at something remarkable.

Major support for Queens is provided by Regina D. Kessler.

This newly imagined version of Queens was commissioned by The Hermitage Greenfield Prize (The Hermitage Artist Retreat, Andy Sandberg, Artistic Director) and co-commissioned by The Almeida Theatre, Rupert Goold, Artistic Director, Denise Wood, Executive Director, and Manhattan Theatre Club, Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director, Barry Grove, Executive Producer through the Edgerton Foundation New Play commission program.
