Soho Rep Announces Ambitious 3-Play Hunger Cycle
"As part of its 2026-27 season, Soho Rep will produce Madeline Easley’s Off-Broadway debut, Feast for the Dead, a nine-person play weaving a speculative future about our responsibility to the deceased, resilience in the living, and cycles of destruction and rebirth into the unexpected vessel of a zombie apocalypse. The play is described as having “a keen sense of pop culture, a vibrant flair for the theatrical, and a full beating heart.”
"The Responsibility We Carry"
by Madeline Easley for the Howlround Journal
"I dream of a theatre where Native Americans are not accepted as necessary collateral damage in the name of art. No one is owed monetization of our names, languages, histories, or our pain; Instead, I dream of a future where we are treated as a living, feeling relation worthy of empathy, inclusion, and care. Where our bodies knit themselves back together again, and we can feel whole in these spaces that have lovingly held others in art."
Madeline selected for 2025-2027 Venturous Fellowship at the Playwrights Center in partnership with Soho Rep
"All of my plays ask similar questions: what do we owe the dead, and therefore, what can we promise the living?”
