Playwrights Horizons and Breaking the Binary Theatre's world premiere of Sarah Mantell's In the Amazon Warehouse Parking Lot begins at the Off-Broadway company's mainstage October 10 ahead of an October 29 opening night. Performances will continue through November 17, with Sivan Battat directing.

The cast features Barsha (formerly known as Debra Barsha) as Horowitz, Sandra Caldwell (Sophisticated Ladies) as El, Donnetta Lavinia Grays (The Skin of Our Teeth) as Jen, Ianne Fields Stewart (Pose) as Sara, Deirdre Lovejoy (Lucky Guy) as Ani, Tulis McCall (What Everywoman Knows) as Ash, and Pooya Mohseni (Madam Secretary) as Maribel.

A work of speculative fiction, the play follows a band of queer warehouse workers traveling from job to job as oceans rise and coastlines recede.

“A lot of the people who are forced to live as itinerant workers are doing so because they don't have other choices, because our country has fundamentally failed them," said Battat in an earlier statement. "One thing in your life can go wrong and suddenly you’re stuck in a cycle, doing manual labor into your 70s. These characters have had no path out of class struggle. One of the most important things about the play is how this community has formed as a result of that—that no one, structurally speaking, is looking out for us, so we’ll do it for each other.”

The production features scenic design by Emmie Finckel, costume design by Mel Ng, lighting design by Cha See, and sound design by Sinan Refik Zafar. The creative team also includes voice, text, and dialect coach Gigi Buffington, dramaturg Zeina Salame, intimacy coordinator Alex Might, production stage manager Ryan Gohsman, and assistant stage manager Holly Adam.
