La Femme Theatre Productions has extended the upcoming New York run of Wendy Wasserstein’s play An American Daughter. Originally scheduled to conclude on September 6, 2026, the revival performance will now run through September 20, 2026, at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
The production is scheduled to begin performances on July 23, 2026, on the Irene Diamond Stage. The official opening night for the theatrical run is set for August 11, 2026.
Director Sarna Lapine is leading the production, which marks the first New York revival of the comedy-drama since its original 1997 premiere at Lincoln Center. This updated staging incorporates an unpublished second act written by Wasserstein.
The narrative explores the public and private unraveling of an accomplished woman poised for a national public service position. The plot centers on a minor personal oversight that triggers a media frenzy, examining the societal standards and scrutiny placed on ambitious women.
The cast features Tony Award nominee Montego Glover, Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard, and Jean Lichty. The company also includes Dakin Matthews, Mary Beth Peil, Ryan Spahn, Will DeVary, Chris Ghaffari, and Carmen Zilles.
