New Work by Elizabeth Marvel, Lee Sunday Evans, Charles L. Mee Join BAM Season

BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) has announced shows for its fall 2026 season and Next Wave 2026.

The season kicks off with The Ford/Hill Project (September 8-20), a verbatim theater work drawn from the Senate testimony of Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford. In the show created by Elizabeth Marvel and two-time Obie winner Lee Sunday Evans and directed by Evans, an ensemble of four actors delivers lines taken directly from the verbatim transcripts of these hearings.

Director Anne Bogart and Playwright Charles L. Mee reunite for the world premiere of PRELUDE (October 13-15), a site-specific outdoor work with original songs by the Lazours, produced by En Garde Arts.

La Distance (November 18-29), written and directed by Tiago Rodrigues, takes place in 2077, where survival has put humanity to the test. Alison Dechamps and Adama Diop perform the work on a rotating stage.

The Philip Glass Ensemble will perform Einstein on the Beach (November 19-21) by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson in concert for the opera’s 50th anniversary and anticipating Glass’s 90th birthday.

Other theater works in the season include Nehprii Amenii’s “HUMAN” (December 2-5) with music by Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby and Minor Music at the End of the World (December 4-6) written by Saidiya Hartman and directed by Sarah Benson.
