NEW YORK, NY – August 31, 2025 – Brooklyn-based Murmuration Theater Company presents you are seen: a new dark comedy about stress, guilt, found family, and girlhood written by Bella Hathorne. A top-tier college’s peer support group for high-achieving women connects a handful of unlikely friends — but the girls blur the line between found family and something much darker as they strive for academic and personal perfection.

Emma McGlashen directs a cast of eight with two swings, including Malaika Tinashe, Emily Hernandez, Meghan McNieve, Olivia Francis, Sara Rosenthal, and Jill Zmolek, with swings Emma McDonough and Sofie Berg.

Well-known for their annual “First Flight” showcase of short plays by emerging writers, Murmuration Theatre Co has distinguished itself as a company that tackles contemporary issues with plays that speak in a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek, and insightful voice.

Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. There will be no show at 7pm on Saturday 10/18, and there will be an additional performance at 2pm on Saturday 10/11.
