First Flight 2026

Join us for the fourth annual First Flight Showcase of New Works!
Presented by Murmuration Theatre Co

Featuring 5 short plays from living playwrights making their NY debut, and performed by emerging actors from across NYC's boroughs! 
The plays—centered around America's off-kilter relationship with health and "wellness"—tackle abortion rights, beauty standards and peer pressure, rising healthcare costs, Gwyneth Paltrow (her whole deal), and more. Our playwrights are: Lizz Mangan (PER MY LAST EMAIL), Aly Kantor (TRACKS), Trev Turnbow (THIS CANDLE SMELLS LIKE GWYNETH PALTROW'S VAGINA), James McLindon (SAFE HARBOR), and Megan Rivkin (DO YOU PARTY?).
