Primary Stages has announced additional programming and events for the fall 2017 season.

On November 26, the company will present a staged reading of Kate Hamill's adaption of Little Women, based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott. Directed by Sarna Lapine, the cast will feature Megan Byrne, Juliana Canfield, Kate Hamill, Jason O'Connell, Michael Stuart Allen, Elise Santorra, Erica Sweany, and Kuhoo Verma. The reading will be held at the Cherry Lane Theatre and is free and open to the public.

Primary Stages will also present a staged reading of A People's Guide to History in the Time of Here and Now, written by Rehana Lew Mirza and directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt. Also free and open to the public, the reading will also be held at the Cherry Lane Theatre.

The December installment of Primary Stages ESPA Detention, a monthly performance series that fosters collaboration and new play development within the Primary Stages ESPA community of artists, pays particular attention to artistic partnerships and the idea of home as it showcases the company's artists at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Writers and actors will be paired, and writers will then create a monologue specifically for the actors based on these conversations and collaborations. Actors will then be paired with ESPA directors, and this night of monologues will be on December 3.
