WE’RE GONNA DIE was originally produced by Caleb Hammons for 13 Playwrights Inc, in association with Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company. It was originally performed in April 2011 at Joe’s Pub in New York, NY. It was also performed at Lincoln Center Theater’s Claire Tow Theater in September 2012 and again in August 2013. It was developed in part through a residency at the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, and through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Swing Space program (space at 14 Wall Street is donated by Capstone Equities), and is presented with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
