Tickets are now on sale for the New York premiere of Rasheeda Speaking, directed by The Real Thing's Cynthia Nixon. The New Group production will star Oscar winner Dianne Wiest, Tony winner Tonya Pinkins, Patricia Conolly and Darren Goldstein and begin performances on January 27, 2015. Opening night is set for February 11 at off-Broadway’s Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center.
Written by Joel Drake Johnson, Rasheeda Speaking explores unspoken tensions between Ileen (Wiest) and Jaclyn (Pinkins), two front desk workers who find themselves in a power struggle with the doctor (Goldstein) for whom they work. Conolly plays Rose, a patient who visits the office.
This production features set design by Allen Moyer, costumes by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Jennifer Tipton and sound design and original music by David Van Tieghem.
