Kristine and Jen are psyched to working on their new collaboration plural (love) at the Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab for the next two years. Separate from the Lab, they are working with director Morgan Green on this same piece through the New Georges Jam. They hope for these two opportunities to generate much material that will intersect and integrate to become the play.
on their play:
“plural (love) is a live performance that catalogues quandaries on ‘love’ shared in real-time. Drawing from auto-theory, daydreaming, critical theory/text, and song, we exercise radical truth-telling, which has become a major feminist project for both of us creatively and in life.”
Find out more about the lab here.
Come check out plural (love) by Kristine Haruna Lee and directed by Morgan Green as part of the New Georges Jamboree! Kristine and Morgan will be sharing 15 minutes of this brand new piece along with their other Jam cohorts at Dixon Place May 17th at 7:30pm!

We had a wonderful, sold out run of Memory Retrograde! Thanks to everyone who made it out, to the cast and crew, and to BAX for housing us for the last two years through this incredible residency.
As part of the Makers Lab Residency at Ars Nova, we will be sharing a new play by Kristine Haruna Lee titled Suicide Forest Directed by Aya Ogawa, at Ars Nova May 4th at 3pm. The play will be read by an all Japanese/Japanese heritage cast.
A despairing salaryman and a fed-up young school girl both decide to enter Japan's most notorious suicide spot, 'Aokigahara' or Suicide Forest, at the base of the national mountain. A nightmare play examining the sickness of a culturally uniform masculinity and the traditionally heroic performance of suicide.
The Reading is free, but we ask that you make a reservation here.
Thanks to our amazing 131 contributors, our goal was funded by 103% and we are now headed into tech for Memory Retrograde with a huge sigh of relief. THANK YOU. We hope you can join us for the showings on April 28th and 29th, 8pm @ BAX. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased here. Hope to see you next week!
Congrats to Kristine for receiving the Lotos Foundation Prize for Directing! The Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences recognizes institutions and individuals working in New York City for distinguished accomplishments and exceptional talent in the arts and sciences.
We're gearing up for our showing of a new play titled MEMORY RETROGRADE on April 28 + 29 which closes our residency time at Brooklyn Arts Exchange. For the past 2 years, we've been creating this brand new piece from scratch and have been working towards this epic 3-part showing. We need your help to put this play up so we can invite folks into the room who can advocate for a full production in New York City in the very near future!
Thanks for supporting our February workshop of Memory Retrograde at Brooklyn Arts Exchange! We learned so much from sharing this material, and we're looking forward to sharing it in full on April 28 + 29. Stay tuned!
