Pretend it's Pretend

Lincoln Center Theater

Jan 26 - Mar 14, 2027 (Op. Feb 11)

Jen teaches third grade and runs on coffee and bad sleep. Arthur designs playgrounds and carries an old grief he cannot shake, while his teenage daughter Clara is writing songs she isn't yet brave enough to sing. Emma Watkins' PRETEND IT'S PRETEND, directed by Annie Tippe, is a tender, funny, searching new play about the teachers who memorize every name, the fathers who mistake protection for love, and the students who are asked to carry more than they should.
