46 Plays for America’s First Ladies
Written by: Genevra Gallo-Bayiates, Sharon Greene, Chloe Johnston, Bilal Dardai and Andy Bayiates
Directed by: Sam Bacza and Matt Michrina
📅 March 5th–8th, 2026
📍217 5th Avenue, Altoona
46 Plays for America’s First Ladies leaps from comic to tragic as it surveys the lives of the women who have served (and avoided serving) as First Lady, from Martha Washington to Jill Biden. A biographical, meta-theatrical, genre-bending ride through race, gender, and everything else your history teacher never taught you about the founding of America.
