Manhattan Theatre Club has cast its titular Queens, for the upcoming presentation of a revised version of Pulitzer winner Martyna Majok's play. The work will play the company's Off-Broadway space, New York City Center Stage I, beginning October 14. Opening night will be November 5. Trip Cullman (We Had a World) is directing.

The cast will feature Brooke Bloom (She's Lost Control), Anna Chlumsky (Veep, You Can't Take It With You), Sharlene Cruz (Sanctuary City), Marin Ireland (Reasons to Be Pretty), Julia Lester (Into the Woods), Nadine Malouf (Grief Motel), Andrea Syglowski (Brooklyn Laundry), and Nicole Villamil (Network).

The play centers on a young Ukrainian woman who comes to an illegal basement apartment in Queens in search of her mother, and who is forced to reckon with the difficult choices multiple generations of immigrant women who live in the home have been forced to make to survive. The work premiered via Lincoln Center Theater's LCT3 series, but Majok has reportedly been working on a major revision that MTC will debut.

“Queens means the world to me,” said Majok in an earlier statement. “I first began writing it in 2016 and I’ve been searching for it ever since, in various workshops, productions, and late nights and early mornings. I worried I’d never write another original play again until I figured out this one; so haunted was I by these women, so driven to do right by them. It’s with tears that I now write that I finally feel like I’ve found their story. These characters are some of the dearest creations of my life. They’re like family. And I’m bursting with love and pride to share them with this city. I’m immensely indebted to the many generous artists and institutions that have supported and cared for this play over the years. And I’m especially grateful to MTC for encouraging me and producing this newly reimagined version of Queens. It moves me so very much that it’s finding a home in one of the theatres that first gave me one. As I read the headlines and witness this country, I hope this story can offer a place at the hearth of the impossibly complicated experience of immigrant women—an experience that, for some, costs entire lives.”
