About Birthright
Set an alert for when Birthright tickets go on sale to see this riveting new play by Tony Award winner Jonathan Spector (Eureka Day). In Birthright off Broadway, six young friends reunite after their shared trip to Israel for Birthright. Over decades of friendship, they question their place in the world as it shifts around them, wondering what it means to share a faith, remain friends, and find a place to belong.
Birthright plays at MCC Theater starting in June and runs for a limited time only. Teddy Bergman (KPOP) directs this fresh production that is an exploration of identity, memory, and what it means to hold onto friendship and faith.
Birthright in New York City will take place in MCC Theater’s Newman Mills Theater in Midtown. The show represents Spector's return to New York theatre after his smash hit comedy, Eureka Day, which was also a timely exploration of contemporary issues.

More information about Birthright
Birthright is produced by Special Arrangement with Jenny Gersten and Sonia Friedman Productions.
“Birthright is ambitious, intimate, and deeply personal — a play that courageously grapples with identity, responsibility, and belief in ways that are provocative, piercing, and deeply illuminating," said Friedman and Gersten in a joint statement "Jonathan and Teddy have created something sensitive and powerful, and MCC is the ideal home for its New York debut. MCC has always championed bold new writing that provokes conversation and builds community, and we’re proud to support them in premiering this urgent and resonant work."
MCC’s Co-Artistic Director Bernie Telsey also weighed in: “The moment we started reading Birthright, we couldn’t put it down," he said. "For us, theater is all about collaboration and creating conversations — not just on stage, but in the lobby before the show, as it unfolds, and long after you’ve gone home. We’re thrilled to be working with Jonathan and Teddy, and we know our audiences will share in that excitement."
