Dry Land by Ruby Rae Spiegel

Cherubs Productions and 35k Productions will present a revival of Ruby Rae Spiegel’s Dry Land, directed by Makaio Toft, starring Yellowjackets’ Nuha Jes Izman as Ester and Isa Barrett (Ramy, Gossip Girl) as Amy, with Gabriella Anifantis and Avery Fischbach rounding out the cast. The production will begin performances March 13 at University Settlement in New York City. Proceeds from the run will benefit The New York Abortion Access Fund (NYAAF), which supports New Yorkers and people traveling to New York State to access abortion care. Additional producers include Olivia Hewitt and Morgan Bramwell. Sophia Conlon leads marketing for the production. Set in a Florida high school locker room, Dry Land follows the private struggles and unlikely bond between two teenage girls as they navigate friendship, bodily autonomy, and the pressures of growing up. Spiegel’s play blends dark comedy with tender coming-of-age moments and stark drama, offering an unflinching portrait of adolescence.
