Tony Nominee Lauren Worsham & More Tapped for Ars Nova's 2016 Lineup

A Gentleman’s Guide Tony nominee Lauren Worsham and more have been tapped for Ars Nova’s 2016 lineup. Shows will include two off-Broadway productions, along with SHOWGASM XXL, a one-night-only ‘gasm so big it won’t fit in the Ars Nova building and ANT Fest, a month-long adventure featuring the next wave of Ars Nova’s breakthrough artists.

The Wildness will make its world premiere February 16, 2016 through March 19. Directed by Sam Buntrock and written by and featuring Brooklyn-based band Sky-Pony, the show will be fronted by Worsham, with songs penned by Kyle Jarrow. Expect to experience a world of prophecies and forbidden temptations.

Underground Railroad Game is set to bow in fall 2016. Created and performed by Jennifer Kidwell and Scott Sheppard, the New York premiere is described as a fierce and fiercely funny new play about race in America.

SHOWGASM XXL will take place in April 2016 at a venue to be announced later. Depicted as Ars Nova Celebrity All Stars, it is set to be hosted by John Early. ANT Fest 2016 will run June 6 through June 30.
