An eclectic mix of characters—including a biotech scientist, a rebellious hacker, dueling maids, ghosts, and even Orpheus and Eurydice—takes the stage at The Gene Frankel Theatre Festival. The lineup features 29 new plays making their New York and World Premieres.

The Festival explores a wide range of timely subjects, including equality, LGBTQ+ stories, race, and artificial intelligence, while transporting audiences to an equally diverse range of settings—from Staten Island and Brooklyn to an assisted living facility, a 1991 computer room, and even the Temple of Apollo in Delphi.
