Mainstage 2022: Voices Be Heard


  • Irondale Center 85 South Oxford Street Brooklyn, NY, 11217 United States (map)

With the company returning live to the stage for the first time in over two years and presenting their very first full-length musical, Voices Be Heard: The Musical follows the lives of six girls living separately in an old New York City apartment building, facing their own day-to-day struggles of survival in the bustling city.

Multi-disciplinary to include live performance of monologue, music, and movement, paired with pre-recorded projections of remote ensemble members, a black out plagues the building during a violent thunderstorm to bring up stories that bond the women together in moments of unity, trust, and vulnerability, while girls who inhabited the building from decades past surface through ghostly apparitions.

Legacy, growth, evolution, fear, and radical joy mark this night that remind the cast and audiences that the storms of life will always pass, and hope lays ahead.

Written and performed by an international cast of 12 professional young “artivists”, ages 17-24, the work features original music and personal narratives of mental health, women’s rights, immigration, identity, justice, and issues facing our communities today.

The world premiere is on June 21, 2022 - June 22, 2022 at Irondale Center located at 85 S Oxford St, Brooklyn, NY 11217. Please sign up to receive a notification when tickets go live at https://girlbeheard.org/mainstage-2022.
