I’ll Be Seein’ Ya

Presented on the Digital Stage

Presented on the Digital Stage on March 31, 2022. ”The American theatre’s most fascinating playwright of conscience” (AP) premieres his searing, incisive, and colorful new play tackling our inescapable present—right here, right now. In I’ll Be Seein' Ya, written by two-time Pulitzer finalist and Tony nominee Jon Robin Baitz (Other Desert Cities, Vicuña), Allie Murchow dreams of a better yesterday and bearable tomorrow in a rapidly changing urban America. She hides within Hollywood fantasies and half-truths to escape the chaos of 2020 raging outside her L.A. apartment and to quiet her chatty brother who won’t get out of her head. But delusions of glamour can’t cover up what’s really going on. Fully staged and filmed for streaming on the Digital Stage, this poignant and unflinchingly funny production comes directly to living rooms across the country to reveal new truths about the hot-button issues every American has felt.
