About Meet the Cartozians

Set an alert for when Meet the Cartozians tickets go on sale with TodayTix to see this bold and witty new play from rising voice Talene Monahon. Tony Award winner David Cromer (The Band's Visit, The Counter, The Treasurer) directs this new comedy that is part riveting historical drama and part scorching satire. Produced by the nonprofit powerhouse Second Stage, Meet the Cartozians plays at The Pershing Square Signature Center for a limited run only this fall.

Experience Meet the Cartozians in New York and see a wild, time-hopping story unfold in two timelines: the 1920s and 2020s. In Meet the Cartozians off Broadway, two sets of Armenian Americans strive for status. A century ago, a man fights for legal recognition while today another is desperate for only recognition. A hilarious play about how we come to belong, this is an sharp new work that is not to be missed.

More information about Meet the Cartozians

Meet the Cartozians pulls back the curtain on a startling chapter of American history you may never have heard about. What of our culture fades, and what persists in a new land? A wildly imaginative and deeply compelling story of culture and heritage, Meet the Cartozians asks who gets to belong — and at what cost?

Second Stage is known for producing stellar new plays, as with Take Me Out, Make Believe, and others. Now, Talene Monahon, a young writer who has had smaller productions that have made a splash, gets a play on her biggest stage yet. Working with David Cromer means this will be an unforgettable production: from his use of the scent of bacon in Our Town to his simple but devastating direction of The Band's Visit, for which he won a Tony Award, this is a production that is sure to be high comedy but also adventurous, singular, and highly intelligent.

What to watch for

  • Stories about immigration are nothing new to the American stage, but ones specifically about Armenians are less common, making this a show a rare treat.
  • Talene Monahon was featured in the New York Times 2023 list of "Rising Theater Stars."
  • Monahon's other recent works include Jane Anger and The Good John Proctor.
  • David Cromer has received a Tony Award, a Drama Desk, three Obies and three Lortels, and in 2010 he was named a MacArthur Foundation fellow.
