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)!
When a writer’s musical about her experience in treatment is co-opted by a powerhungry producer, Chasing Grace becomes a meta-theatrical exploration of who gets to tell our stories, what it costs to stay true to your voice, and the constant, courageous process of recovering out loud.
Featuring a witty and energetic score that blends contemporary musical theatre with pop and R&B influences, the show explores the gritty, painful, and often surprisingly funny realities of life inside a treatment facility – and, most importantly, what you do with your story when you leave.

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.
