(NEW YORK, NY) -- Chain Theatre presents the world premiere production of John Patrick Shanley's The Pushover, directed by Kirk Gostkowski, from April 6-26, 2026. The Pushover is a play about three bad-ass women who collide and collude at a spa in New Mexico, and a bare-bones Asian restaurant in Queens.
Dangerous and hungry, their weapons and their passions bleed into each other. They speak the language of the outcast, rough and sexual, and fight to survive, and to love.
"I am thrilled to share The Pushover with our audience," states Gostkowski. "This is one of those plays you dream about receiving as an Artistic Director. Love, betrayal, comedy, crime... PASSION! Powerhouse female characters. All the shades of the human condition come to the surface, and the dialogue moves like a house on fire. John Patrick Shanley has brought us into this incredible world. I feel like I have a secret right now that I can't wait for everyone to see."
Performances take place Wednesdays at 7:00pm; Thursdays at 7:00pm; Fridays at 7:00pm; Saturdays at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; and Sundays at 2:00pm (No performance on April 5, Easter Sunday)
Tickets are $45-$89 and are available for purchase online. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the Chain Theatre box office 30 minutes prior to the performance. Running Time: 90 minutes. The Chain Theatre is located at 312 W 36th Street in New York, NY.
