The Witnesses compels us to question not only if we can change but if we have time to do so while the world appears to be ending. Infused with C.A. Johnson’s brutal honesty, exacting humor, and heartfelt exploration of human relationships, the story pulses with urgency, vulnerability and unexpected warmth.

While an apocalyptic plague rages, five individuals unite in their weekly support group to forge a sanctuary of care and companionship. Centering on the darkly funny and wildly magnetic Millicent and her chosen family of misfits, this play explores the undeniable physical urge for human connection.

**World Premiere: JORDANS by Ife Olujobi**

This April 2024, The Public Theater is thrilled to present the world premiere of "JORDANS," a bitingly funny and wildly imaginative new play by Emerging Writers Group alumnus Ife Olujobi. Directed by Obie Award winner Whitney White, "JORDANS" offers a piercing exploration of assimilation, racial capitalism, success, and survival within the confines of an overwhelmingly white workplace.

The narrative unfolds around a long-suffering receptionist whose life spirals into personal, professional, and psychic jeopardy following the hiring of a hip new employee by her ruthless boss. This move, aimed at improving the company’s image and culture, forces two young, Black social climbers into a complex dance of competition and survival, tearing them apart and pushing them together through their race, ambition, and otherworldly circumstances.

"JORDANS" is more than a play; it's a story of mistaken identity, subverted power, and unleashed rage, offering a bold commentary on the true cost of diversity in the workplace.

Carlo crashes her ex’s wedding with three simple goals: Don’t get drunk. Don’t make any kids cry. Don’t try to win back the bride, no matter how boring the groom is. (She’ll ultimately fail at all three.) A very, very funny play about loneliness, estrangement, and a slow-burn romance with being alive.

Oakland in 1967 is a powder keg of social activism ready to boil over into radical action.
