Who gets to author the ending?
Introducing CHUANG Stage's 2026–27 Main Stage Season: RECLAIMING THE EPICS ✨

Two of the greatest stories ever told. Two female figures who were never handed the pen. This season, we give it to them. A season about memory and inheritance, love and duty, and the courage to decide how a story ends.

📜THE SITAYANA (or "How to Make an Exit")
by Lavina Jadhwani · dir. Tushar Mathew
Oct 14–31, 2026 · BCA Black Box · Tickets on sale soon!
The great Indian epic, retold through Sita's eyes — princess, queen, wife, mother, and this time, the author of her own story.

👑LAOWANG
by Alex Lin · dir. Michael Hisamoto
April 14–May 8, 2027 · BCA Plaza · Tickets on sale in March!
High-rise developers come for A-Poh's Chinatown restaurant — and this fierce, funny King Lear sends her tumbling through reality, myth, and magic to save her family, her legacy, and her sanity.

Every seat, Pay-As-You-Are — because theatre belongs to everyone. Full fall events + community programming dropping soon.

These epics are ours now. Come meet these stories at Boston Center for the Arts!

📣 CASTING CALL 📣 We're now accepting submissions from Greater Boston-based union and non-union actors for our fall production.

The Sitayana (or "How to Make an Exit")
by Lavina Jadhwani, directed by Tushar Mathew

Rehearsals begin September 1st
Performances October 14th–October 31st
Boston Center for the Arts, Black Box Theatre

Drawing from one of the greatest epics ever told, acclaimed playwright Lavina Jadhwani (1983–2025) boldly reimagines and recenters the Ramayana through the eyes of Sita — the princess, the queen, the wife, the mother, and this time, the author of her own story. With movement devised by the ensemble, The Sitayana (or "How to Make an Exit") holds that Sita was never one woman — she is all of us. Part Sanskrit epic, part coming-of-age story, and ultimately a break-up play, it's a vibrant, witty exploration of love, duty, liberation, and the courage to know when — and how — to make an exit.

To submit, you'll upload:
— A headshot or recent photo
— A resume or list of experience
— A 1–2 minute video of a contemporary monologue OR a provided side

Submissions close August 6th at 11:59 PM — but we encourage you to submit as early as possible. Callbacks will be held in person at the CHUANG Stage Studio at the Boston Center for the Arts.
