Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC)—Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director, and Chris Jennings, Executive Director—recently produced an Off-Broadway production of Martyna Majok’s newly imagined version of Queens, directed by Trip Cullman. The production played a limited engagement from October 15, 2025 through December 7, 2025.
From Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok (Cost of Living at MTC) comes an epic drama about hunting for the American Dream, finding family, and facing the ghosts you left behind. In an illegal basement apartment in Queens, multiple generations of immigrant women fight to launch a new life. But when a young Ukrainian woman comes searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago, she forces a reckoning with the impossible choices the women made to survive. Directed by Trip Cullman (We Had a World and Choir Boy at MTC), Queens chronicles the strivers who sacrificed whole worlds for the chance at something remarkable.
