Liza Birkenmeier's Grief Hotel will return to NYC in residence with The Public Theater. The return, presented by Clubbed Thumb in partnership with New Georges, will be directed by Tara Ahmadinejad. It will play The Public's Shiva Theater March 20 through April 20. An official opening night is slated for March 27.
The work exploring grief initially premiered as part of the 2023 Summerworks festival of new plays, which earned Birkenmeier and Ahmadinejad a special citation from the Obie Awards for the production, as well as an Obie Award for Sustained Excellence to design team dots.
The cast will include Nadine Malouf as Em, Ana Nogueira as Winn, Naren Weiss as Rohit, Obie Award-winner Susannah Perkins as Teresa, Susan Blommaert as Aunt Bobbi, and Bruce McKenzie as Asher.
Grief Hotel will feature scenic design by dots, costume design by Mel Ng, lighting design by Masha Tsimring, and sound design and composition by Jordan McCree.
