Manhattan Theatre Club has revealed some casting for its upcoming Off-Broadway season, which includes Joshua Harmon (Prayer for the French Republic)'s We Had a World and Rajiv Joseph's Dakar 2000.

Joining previously announced stars Joanna Gleason and Jeanine Serralles in We Had a World will be Andrew Barth Feldman. The world premiere begins performances February 25, 2025, at NY City Center Stage II ahead of a March 15 opening night. Gleason, a Tony winner for her work as The Baker's Wife in the original Broadway cast of Into the Woods, will star as Renee, a dying woman who calls upon her grandson (Feldman) to write a "bitter and vitriolic" (according to press notes) play about their family, ultimately invoking past family fights, cruelty, and love. Tripp Cullman is directing.

Running almost concurrently in NY City Center Stage I will be the world premiere of Rajiv Joseph's Dakar 2000, with performances starting February 4, 2025, ahead of a February 27 opening night. Newly announced to be starring in the two-hander are Abubakr Ali and Mia Barron. May Adrales is directing the piece, a thriller about a Peace Corps volunteer who survives a mysterious car accident in Senegal on the eve of Y2K, only to then make a strange connection with an imposing State Department operative who shows up at the hospital to take control of the scene.

The non-profit company is represented on Broadway with Jez Butterworth's The Hill's of California at the Broadhurst Theatre. Jonathan Spector's Eureka Day begins performances at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre November 25, with Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends to follow in 2025. The Off-Broadway season also includes the world premiere of Dominique Morisseau's Bad Kreyòl, a co-production with Signature Theatre playing Pershing Square Signature Center through December 1.
