MCC Theater celebrated the official opening of C.A. Johnson's All the Natalie Portmans February 24. A fantastical coming-of-age comedy, the new play sees 16-year-old Keyonna, “too smart, ‘too gay,’ and too lonely to fit in,” escape into the imagined worlds of her muse, Natalie Portman.

Directed by Kate Whoriskey (Sweat), performances of the world premiere began February 6 in the Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater at The Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space, where the extended run continues through March 29. Kara Young (Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven) stars as Keyonna in a cast that also features Tony nominee Montego Glover (Memphis, Hamilton), Joshua Boone (Network), Elise Kibler (Mies Julie, Indian Summer), and Renika Williams (The Climb).
