Thank you to everyone who joined us for Wednesday’s reading of Emiliana: A Revolution Cabaret by Jessica L. Peña Torres. Our final workshop reading of this year’s GFT Writes cohort! We’re so grateful to the incredible artists who brought this exciting new work to life and to everyone who stayed after to share feedback and be part of the conversation. If you caught this week’s reading, you got a first glimpse of a piece that’s just getting started. Emiliana will officially premiere as part of Ground Floor Theatre’s 2026 Season, coming to our stage this August. And the GFT Writes celebration doesn’t stop there! Fellow cohort member Anikka Lekven’s play A Doctor’s Visit, developed as part of GFT Writes 2025, premieres next week with Broad Theatre. Catch it starting November 6-22! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-doctors-visit-tickets-1641129856579?aff=aff0evvnt #GFTWrites #GroundFloorTheatre #NewWorks #AustinTheatre #TheFutureIsWrittenHere #TheatreForEveryone (fb)
