Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) Presents:
THE THREE SISTERS OF WEEHAWKEN
A New Play By Deborah Zoe Laufer
Directed By Marc Tuminelli
With a standout cast (Maria Bilbao, Emily Kratter, Ilana Levine, and Alysha Umpress), the piece is a darkly funny, electric reimagining of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, set in a cramped New Jersey apartment just across the river from Manhattan—centering female voices with urgency, humor, and emotional volatility that feels both timeless and completely of-the-moment.

WECAN reimagine the future with the Circle This Duo to cure the loneliness epidemic. In this soul-stirring Episode of the WECAN Partner Series, Stephanie is joined by Andrea Bendewald and Emily Kratter, the visionary co-hosts of the Circle This Podcast.
This isn't just an insight into media, it’s a reflection on how friendship can serve as the ultimate foundation for a professional venture and a remedy for the modern "loneliness epidemic." Andrea and Emily show how we can have limitless love in friendship, blasting the barriers we set between ourselves and making room for a friendship and love that we all might long for.
Emily and Andrea share their journey of weaving stories and people together, proving that when we integrate information through deeper connection, we don't just learn, we transform. Traditional networking often feels hollow, and digital content can leave us feeling isolated. Emily and Andrea are redefining what it means to share a stage, shifting the focus from "presentation" to integration. Through poetry, music, and radical transparency, they show us how to find the words for our truths and the remedies for our collective challenges.

Emily was accepted into the Dorset Theater Festival's 2025 Playoffs - a weeklong fellowship for writers to be immersed in a creative process with a clear end goal: the production of a one act play written and developed collectively, as well as to be given the opportunity to present and share personal works in progress for feedback and guidance.
The Rupert Coop and the Dorset Theater Festival share a vision of building community for creative artists. While presenting excellent finished work is the ultimate goal, the creative process itself is the unseen essence of that work. Supporting artists in these efforts enriches us all.
"Extra workshop hours may be held, all-nighters are not ruled out, and creative mayhem is to be expected. The energy of a group and a deadline are key ingredients to the process, as are the likelihood of mistakes, unsolvable problems, and chaos. The most essential ingredient is a sense of creative play and possibilities.
Everyone wins."
