From Publishers Weekly: "Ali Stroker, the first wheelchair-bound actor to win a Tony, for her performance in Oklahoma, has teamed up with Stacy Davidowitz, a Broadway playwright and author, on The Chance to Fly, a middle grade novel about 14-year-old Nat Beacon, a Broadway superfan who uses a wheelchair, and the summer when she overcomes fears to turn her fandom into stardom. Erica Finkel at Abrams won world English rights to Chance at auction, and the book is slated for spring 2021. Hannah Mann at Writers House brokered the deal for world English rights."

Camp Rolling Hills the Musical will be produced by the On Tour Company at Calhoun High School in Merrick, NY! I'm particularly jazzed 'n' honored since Calhoun is the high school I went to and loved. Being a part of the On Tour Company - actor, scribe, head of props, head of media, and eventually president - changed my life. It's what got me writing and acting and gave me the confidence to pursue a career as a theatre maker. The production will be in May and I'll be involved - meeting with the Drama and English classes as well as signing books. I seriously can't wait. :)

My full-length play PINK! was produced by Second Stage at Wesleyan University, February 21 - 23. Reviewed in the Wesleyan Argus, "'Pink!,' written by Stacy Davidowitz and directed by Annie Ning ’20 this past weekend, was simultaneously one of the best and one of the most difficult to watch shows that Second Stage has put on this year. The play takes place at a summer camp that is implied to be wealthy, and examines the ways in which female socialization can lead to experiences of girlhood that are brutal, complex, and at times, darkly funny."
