"La MaMa ETC, in association with Peculiar Works Project, presents..." We've been wanting to say this for a long time, and now it's finally happening! Peculiar Works Project is pleased to announce that our next production, ANTIGONE In Analysis, has been selected by legendary theater presenter La MaMa ETC for their 2026 line-up.

Photo over the shoulder of Jocasta holding Antigone's cheek as Antigone recoils from herWritten by Barbara Barclay and directed by Ralph Lewis, this new play with live music will premiere next March in The Downstairs Theater. We can't wait to return to the site where our Spring Pictures of the Floating World (2012) launched this space as a performance venue. And Antigone in Analysis will celebrate Women’s History Month, running March 20–April 5, 2026 in the Downstairs Theatre at La MaMa, 66 East 4th Street, NYC.

Following a sold-out December 2024 staged reading at La MaMa/Great Jones, the 3-week run of this 75-minute play will feature an ensemble cast of seven supported by a design team of six. The artistic team includes Rachel Cohen (choreography), Alana Asha Amram (composer), Evan Frank (sets/projections), Grace Martin (costumes), David Castaneda (lighting), Ruya Tazebay (community engagement), and Peculiar Works Project producers Catherine Porter and Barry Rowell.
