Filmed from Lincoln Center's Off-Broadway theater in August 2024, N/A is part of Theater Close-Up, a collaboration between THIRTEEN and New York City-area Off-Broadway and regional theaters, shining a primetime spotlight on a diverse mix of innovative theater productions. Go behind closed doors as these two formidable women debate power, ambition, and change. N/A is written by Congressional aide turned playwright Mario Correa and directed by Tony Award-winning director Diane Paulus (“Jagged Little Pill”).
