Their third collaboration together, Zoë is thrilled to be working with Savannah Hankinson again on her new play! Playing September 20-October 6, 2024 at A.R.T./NY's Gural Theater.

"Everyone else in the cast is superb, with Ms. Laiz, whose part is small but flashy, making the biggest impression. She has the kind of star quality that you notice the moment she walks on stage."
