Stage Door
Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.

The Lowdown
Downtown at The Gym at Judson, Katie Cappiello is staging a fight over the most famous mother in history — and who gets to tell her story. The Body of Mary: A Play in Three Acts (of God) is a sharp, funny, unapologetically loud new play about reproduction, power, and the very old habit of putting words in a woman's mouth. Cappiello (the mind behind SLUT: The Play and Netflix's Grand Army) writes teenagers and grown-ups who talk like real people — which is to say they interrupt each other and mean it.
The cast — Gracie Conn, Ben Cook, Annalisa D'Aguilar, David Hull, Mary Jo Mecca, and Tracy Sallows — takes on a story that swings from comedy to gut-punch and back before you've finished your intermission drink. Judson Memorial Church has been a Greenwich Village home for boundary-pushing theater for decades, and this one fits right in.
Previews start September 8, with opening night September 15. If you like your theater with a pulse and an opinion, this show has both. Grab a seat while The Gym's flexible house still has one.
