"What happens when three women in an assisted living facility join a theatre class running scenes from A Streetcar Named Desire while weighing what remains of their livesand what still makes those lives worth living? That question sits at the heart of Everything Is Here, a new comedy by playwright Peggy Stafford (16 Words or Less, Motel Cherry), debuting this December at 59E59."
"Directed by Meghan Finn, a prolific theater director and nonprofit trailblazer who has tripled The Tank's programming since taking on the leadership role in 2017, this production showcases the talents of Jan Leslie Harding, Mia Katigbak, Susannah Millonzi, Petronia Paley, and Pete Simpson. This play is hilarious on the page, but the real joy will be watching these extraordinary actors bring it to life."
Everything Is Here follows three women in an assisted living facility who join a theatre class staging A Streetcar Named Desire and weigh what remains of their lives. The play is set in a retirement community common room with a picture window overlooking a small man-made pond with a solitary duck and an aging oak. The piece blends sharp humor, honesty, and a touch of Tennessee Williams to unpack past stories, spontaneous Streetcar reenactments, and the complex realities of aging. Peggy Stafford wrote the play. Meghan Finn directs; Lisa Fagan choreographs. The cast includes Jan Leslie Harding, Mia Katigbak, Susannah Millonzi, Petronia Paley, and Pete Simpson. The Tank and New Georges present the production at 59E59, December 3–20, 2025.
