New Stage Theatre Company presents the Premiere of LISTS OF PROMISE at the Johnson Theater at Theater For The New City.

Lists of Promise is a blended theatrical and aerial performance piece inspired by When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone and created for the stage by Ildiko Nemeth and Lisa Giobbi with Marie Glancy O'Shea. This sharply humorous production looks at women's positions in society through historical, political, and mythological lenses. The lists that govern women's lives – past and present – serve as an organizing theme.

Ildiko Nemeth is an exceptional actor and director. She is the founder and artistic director of the New Stage Theatre Company (NSTC), and the director, producer, and visionary force behind all the company’s premieres. Originally from Budapest, she founded NSTC in 2002 after graduating from the Actor’s Studio Drama School. Drawing from her Eastern European theatre background and the multicultural influences of her collaborators, Ildiko Nemeth premieres foreign writers’ works in New York and creates original pieces. Her works are distinguished by their bold visual style and juxtaposition of absurdist and physical humor with dark, difficult material. As a director she often refers to her projects as compositions, which reflects her multidisciplinary approach: all artistic elements, including text, music, movement, and spectacle, are fused into a unified work of art. newstagetheatre.org
