We’re “hungry” for this opening! Julia Lester will star in Hungry Women at the SoHo playhouse this summer. The play, which is written by Melissa Maney and directed by Danielle Caggiano, will run from July 23 to Aug. 30 at SoHo Playhouse, with official opening set for July 25.
The play explores what our world would look like across two hundred years with one small difference: men are extinct. The dark comedy explores survival, identity, sexuality, motherhood, and the reshaping of power in the absence of the patriarchy. In the end, it asks: What are women most hungry for?
“I really believe that there’s something for everyone to get out of this story – be it a new perspective, a moment of empowerment and understanding, or a much-needed laugh or two,” playwright Maney said in a release.
Lester, who earned a Tony Award nomination for her role as Little Red in the 2022 revival of Into the Woods, will be joined by Zoe Dean, Mariyea, and Sophie Zmorrod.
The production features scenic and projection design by Qingan Zhang, costume design by Olivia Hern, lighting design by Annie Garrett-Larsen, sound design by Chris Verde, and dramaturgy by Alejandra Godoy. Kaelin Elizabeth Fuld is the stage manager. Elise Joyner is the assistant stage manager. Publicity, Social Media and Marketing Consulting by Kampfire.
Hungry Women runs at the SoHo Playhouse on 15 Vandam Street in New York City from July 23 to Aug. 30. For tickets and more information, visit here.
