Page 73 has announced the lineup set for its 2016-17 season, featuring two world-premiere productions.

The season will include the world premiere of Caroline V. McGraw's Ultimate Beauty Bible, which will open this fall at the New Ohio Theatre. Directed by Stephen Brackett, the play follows Danielle and Lee, friends in their early 30s living in the big city, working as fashion magazine editors. When Danielle finds out she has ovarian cancer, it throws both women wildly off track, forcing them to examine their choices in the face of a future without each other.

As previously announced, Page 73 and Ensemble Studio Theatre/The Radio Drama Network, will produce the world premiere of Kentucky, written by Leah Nanako Winkler, and directed by Morgan Gould. The play will begin performances at Ensemble Studio Theatre‘s Curt Dempster Theatre in April for a limited run.

Page 73 has also announced Hansol Jung as their 2016 P73 Playwriting Fellow, Caroline V. McGraw as the 2016 Tow Playwright in Residence at Page 73, and the new 2016 Interstate 73 Writers Group.
