The Primary Stages 2015-16 season will kick off this July with the New York City premiere of Deborah Zoe Laufer’s Informed Consent. Performances will begin on a date to be announced in July at off-Broadway’s Duke on 42nd Street. The season will also include the New York premieres of Dan O’Brien’s The Body of an American and Ike Holter’s Exit Strategy, as well as a yet-to-be-announced fourth production for this fall.
Informed Consent is based on a landmark court case between the Havasupai tribe and the University of Arizona and follows a woman as she attempts to answer the mysteries of science and her own life. The Body of an American, set to begin performances in February 2016, tells the true stories of a friendship between two men: a war photojournalist and a playwright. Exit Strategy, which will begin the following month, explores the future of public education through the lens of the final days of a Chicago public school.
Further information, including dates, cast and creative team, will be announced at a later date.
