The play: Get ready for the captivating new musical By Any Other Name by Deborah Zoe Laufer (Winner of the 2025 Carbonell Award for her play The Last Yiddish Speaker) and Daniel Green (composer and lyricist)
This innovative production re-imagines Shakespeare's iconic female characters. After four hundred years of Macbeth, Shakespeare’s Three Witches decide to spice up their recipe by throwing nine of the Bard’s characters from other plays into the cauldron - most of them heroines destined for a tragic end. What ensues is a mash-up of epic proportions as characters like Juliet, Ophelia, Rosalind, and more find themselves magically transported to the same forest, where together they grapple with love, loss, identity, and the constraints of gender roles. In a contemporary setting. With a dynamic pop/rock soundtrack, the musical follows these beloved characters as they forge their own paths and challenge traditional gender roles. Is their destiny in the stars or in themselves?
