SoHo Rep Unveils Three-Season Hunger Cycle of World Premieres, Launching This Summer With César Alvarez’s The Potluck

Targeted philanthropy enables unusually large-scale, artist-driven productions across three seasons.

Overview

  • The initiative spans a new musical, a play, and a site-specific immersive folk tale that probe material, emotional, and moral appetites in contemporary life.
  • The Potluck by César Alvarez opens the cycle this summer in co-production with INTAR Theatre under director Sarah Benson, a 12-actor musical that reframes the Greensboro Massacre through ghosts, capitalism, and intergenerational trauma.
  • SoHo Rep characterizes the three productions as among its most large-scale to date, supported by the Civis Foundation with additional backing from the Miranda Family Fund for The Potluck and the Venturous Theater Fund for Feast for the Dead.
  • For 2026–27, Madeline Easley’s Feast for the Dead marks her Off-Broadway debut with a nine-actor cast and a speculative frame engaging Wyandotte Feast of the Dead traditions.
  • Radical Evolution’s Hunger concludes the cycle in 2027–28 as a devised, site-specific fable inviting audiences to interrogate physical, spiritual, and communal hunger, with performance dates and full production details to be announced.
