Off-Broadway's Ensemble Studio Theatre (EST) has revealed the lineup for their 2025-26 season, including two new plays.
The company's 57th season will begin this fall with A Bodega Princess Remembers La Fiesta de los Reyes Magos, 1998, written and performed by Iraisa Ann Reilly and directed by EST’s Co-Artistic Director Estefanía Fadul. Running November 17-December 14 at EST’s long-time home at 545 West 52nd Street, it is presented with the Lucille Lortel Theatre and the Latinx Playwrights Circle.
The production is described as follows: "Every January 6, the Latine community of Egg Harbor City, NJ gathered in the basement cafeteria of St. Nicholas School for a celebration of the Feast of Los Reyes Magos. Writer-performer Iraisa Ann Reilly invites the audience to celebrate and reclaim that date, introducing the audience to her family, her hometown, and her epiphany at the 1998 Feast that changed her life forever."
The company is also joining with Atlantic Theater Company to present their EST/Sloan Project commission The Reservoir, from Youngblood alum Jake Brasch. With performance slated to be in February and March of 2026, the production is part of Atlantic's previously announced season.
"This is a big year for EST—our world is expanding,” said Co-Artistic Director Graeme Gillis. “Both our productions this year are chances for us to partner with theatres and organizations that we've admired for a long time. The Lortel, the LPC, the Sloan Foundation and the Atlantic all do great work for theatre in New York City, and we're proud to have our name alongside theirs to do the work we all do best—giving these plays and artists the strongest launch available."
