Casting Ad & Ned, a new play

We are excited to announce that we are producing a new play that will run in early January at the Theater for the New City. Ad&Ned is a play written by playwright Charlotte Smart and premiered in 2021 at the New York Theater Festival where it was nominated for best play. We are currently in the final stages of casting, and are looking forward to our first rehearsals in early November.

Ad & Ned is an exploration of the relationship between actor Edwin Booth and critic turned Grant biographer Adam Badeau. Drawn from the private collection of a decades long correspondence, Ad & Ned traces the lives of two men at a time when their intimate truths went unspoken in 19th Century America. It is a story about a famous actor overshadowed by notoriety and a less famous writer avoiding it. More significantly, it is a play about how, with time, we return to our memories to remember why we love.

This play runs January 5-7th, 2023 at Theater for the New City.
