Keen Company will give a world premiere to Adam Gwon's musical All the World's a Stage during the Off-Broadway company's 25th anniversary season. The work will play Theatre Row's Theatre Five March 25-May 10, 2025, with Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein directing.

The musical, a Keen Company commission, follows a small-town math teacher coaching a misfit student for the 1996 State Thespian Convention whose carefully compartmentalized life starts to fray thanks to a devout school secretary.

The production is part of Keen's newly announced season, which will be the final under the leadership of Silverstein, who announced his upcoming departure from the company earlier this year.

That season will also include a benefit concert of the Stephen Sondheim revue Marry Me a Little, planned for November 18 at Peter Norton Symphony Space. Keen previously presented the work in 2012, the company's first-ever musical, which comprises some of the lesser-known songs from Sondheim's catalogue. That production's stars, Lauren Molina and Jason Tam, will be on hand for the concert, joined by special guests to be announced. Silverstein is again directing.

A gala honoring Marcia Pendleton will be held at Manhattan Penthouse October 7. The season will also include the return of the Keen Teens Festival of New Work, which pairs world premiere one-act plays with an all-star cast of NYC high school students. Playwrights for this year's festival include Kyle Bass, Alyssa Hadda-Chin, and Amy E. Witting.
