Hailed as “a fresh story freshly told” by The New York Times (Critic’s Pick) – A Woman Among Women arrives at LCT3 this season in a bold new iteration, in partnership with The Bushwick Starr and New Georges.
It’s a summer day in Northampton, Massachusetts and Cleo, founder of the local women’s wellness center, holds court in her backyard. As friends, family and neighbors pass through, the air hums with a tension that may destroy the community she’s worked so hard to build.
With A Woman Among Women, playwright Julia May Jonas delivers a sharp, subversive counterpoint to Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. “Fascinating, playful, and ultimately wrenching” (Variety), Jonas offers a new take on the American tragedy.
A Woman Among Women was originally developed with and produced by The Bushwick Starr and New Georges, and world premiered in the 2024-25 season.
A Woman Among Women is supported by The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, with additional generous support by the Broadway Women’s Fund.
Support for LCT3 is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation, the Helen Gurley Brown Foundation, the Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Fund, and members of the LCT3 Council.
Endowment support for LCT3 is provided by Daryl Roth, James-Keith Brown and Eric Diefenbach, and The Judith Champion Playwrights’ Vision Fund and Mel Litoff.
Season Support is generously provided by Daryl Roth, Denise Littlefield Sobel, and American Airlines.
The 2025 – 2026 LCT3 season is dedicated to Leonard Tow, whose leadership, generosity, and vision helped shape LCT3.

THE BUSHWICK STARR is an award-winning nonprofit theater that provides a home for artists, community and bold new work. Since 2007, they have grown from a fledgling neighborhood arts space to a permanent and vital Brooklyn cultural center. The Bushwick Starr cultivates a loving environment where artists can make career-defining leaps, learners can explore their interests through theater, and audiences can be part of an experience that ignites new ideas and forges human connection. They are a place of welcome for all who wish to build community through stories, conversation, and artmaking. Through serving both emerging and established artists, and building a strong and meaningful bond with local schools and community centers, the Starr has become a pillar in Bushwick and a trusted NYC theater where audiences experience new, high quality work in a warm, intimate environment.
NEW GEORGES (Susan Bernfield, Artistic Director/Producer; Jaynie Saunders Tiller, Executive Director/Producer) advocates for an intergenerational ecosystem of exuberant theatrical minds, furthering fierce new works along with long-term wellbeing, expanding aesthetic boundaries and gender equity in tandem. Projects in our influential “weird or weird-ish” aesthetic have wit (in the classical sense), are funny (in any sense), idiosyncratic, often impossible, maybe messy. Artist resources and development pathways, grounded in collaboration and community, include our permanent work/experiment space, The Room. A pivotal home and launchpad since 1992, serving three generations of ingenious women+ artists, our impact reaches every corner of the culture. www.newgeorges.org
