PRESENTS

The show we all fell in love with at the SheNYC Summer Theater Festival in 2023 is taking the next step: we’re thrilled to announce that SheNYC Arts will produce the premiere Off-Broadway run of Elizabeth Addison’s new musical, Chasing Grace, in March 2026.

We’re returning to the A.R.T./New York Mezzanine Theatre (where you saw our last off-Broadway run of Bloodshot and Fort Huachuca)!

A writer in recovery is on the brink: a workshop, a team, a shot at New York. But when her musical about women in treatment is reshaped for ‘broad appeal,’ a chorus of pressures — industry notes, old habits, and new temptations — threatens to derail both the show and her sobriety. Chasing Grace bends the rehearsal room into the character’s inner life, fusing theater-making and recovery as she learns that integrity is not an ending — it’s a daily choice.

Produced by SheNYC Arts, featuring orchestrations by Angela Ortiz, music direction by Dave Klodowski and recorded at the woman-owned MONOLisa Studios, this album is a sneak peek at the magic of Chasing Grace. Get excited – there’s even more stunning music that will take the stage in March 2026!

ABOUT US

She NYC Arts is a femme-led nonprofit organization fighting for gender equity in the theater industry and the entertainment industry at large.

We know that what audiences watch in plays, musicals, films, and TV shows helps mold the way they see the world around them – and we want audiences to see shows by women & femme artists, telling our stories through our lens.

We focus most of our support on the original creators — playwrights, composers, and producers — to get more women, trans, and non-binary people in these roles that decide which stories get told on stage and screen.
