News: "Replaced!" to Play 2026 LimeFest at The Tank on August 12th


Laurizarry will present Replaced!, written and directed by Jess Lauricello, as part of the 2026 LimeFest at The Tank (312 W 36th St, New York, NY 10018) on Wednesday, August 12 at 9:30pm. The Tank’s LimeFest invites new works by emerging artists and creative teams who identify as
women, nonbinary or gender non-conforming to make way for more gender parity in the
performing arts. Tickets are $20-$30 and are available for advance purchase at thetanknyc.org. The performance will run approximately 60 minutes.

A surrealist sci-fi tragicomedy following a young woman identified only as a Daughter (played 
by Zoe Mintz) who returns to her hometown to find that everyone in it has been replaced by 
aliens. Hailed as “an invigoratingly surreal body-snatching narrative” by Thinking Theater and 
“a smart and earnest piece” with “a lot of fun physical absurdity” by Hi! Drama, Replaced! is 
back for one night only at The Tank on August 12th. Come out and join them. They’ll get you in the 
end anyway.

The cast will feature Zoe Mintz (Vibrator Girl), Pedro Vierre (The (Green Apple) Play, Open, If I 
Did, You Deserved It), Luis Feliciano (Celine Song’s Family at La MaMa, The Climate Fables, If 
I Did, You Deserved It), Kristen Hoffman (Celine Song’s Family at LaMaMa, Winning is Winning, 
The Climate Fables, If I Did, You Deserved It), Padraig Bond (The Climate Fables, Hamlet, The 
Good-Story Murders at Japan Society, If I Did, You Deserved It), Annabella Pritchard (Bone 
Wars, The Body - Semifinalist at the Queens Short Play Festival, If I Did, You Deserved It, Meg, 
Hamlet), Jake Levy (The Yiddish Shakespeare Project), and Zach Wegner* (Complicity at The 
New Ohio, Satan & God at Theater Row, Worse than Tigers at The New Ohio, The Glass 
Menagerie at The Hypocrites, Loot at Westport Country Playhouse).

The creative team includes Jess Lauricello (Playwright/Director), Hunter McIlvain (Stage 
Manager), Kat Sciortino (Lighting Designer), Jaixa Irizarry (Costume Designer), Chikako 
Murakawa (Sound Designer), Bella Saban (Props Designer), Zoe Kay (Fight Choreographer),

American Blues: 5 Short Plays by Tennessee Williams Written by Tennessee Williams Directed by Jim Niesen Presented by the Irondale Ensemble Project at The Space at Irondale 85 South Oxford St., Brooklyn, NYC October 27-November 26, 2023 Shadenia Savid in Moony's Kids Don't Cry . Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install...

Review: "How To Eat an Orange" Cuts into the Life of an Argentine Artist and Activist

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,...
