About the Moxie Incubator
The Moxie Incubator is an accelerated development program for new, unproduced works and aligns with Moxie’s mission of engaging audiences with stories centering and created by people of historically excluded genders (women, trans, and non-binary people). These pieces were selected through an open submission process to Moxie Arts NY and each received two rounds of development before these productions. Throughout this process, the nine cohort members rotated, so that all artists have worked together in different configurations across the three rounds

The 2026 Moxie Incubator
you know, that bakery out in Bensonhurst
By Gina Femia
Directed by Liza Couser
Produced by Andie Lerner
September 2-6, 2026 at IRT Theater
Dell and Micki are sisters who work in a bakery. Been working there their whole lives, their mom owns the place. Even though they’re only four years apart, it may as well be 40, they’re that different. Dell is sixteen going on sixty, an old soul struggling to understand why their father died – he definitely didn’t kill himself, even if that’s what they all say. Micki is twenty going on sixteen, excited to be embarking on a new relationship – even if she ain’t supposed to. No matter, at least Dell’s got Adeline, her new friend opening her up to new experiences like blow jobs and alcohol. When Micki leaves her family, the girls’ lives are twisted into a turmoil neither could’ve ever predicted.
The Companion
By Amy Greenspan
Directed by Kalina Ko
Produced by Katie Brown
September 23-27, 2026 at IRT Theater
Joy, a lonely late 30-something, acquires a Companion (an AI in a human form designed to help with daily tasks) for her ailing father. After his death, the Companion becomes hers. Choosing to keep him, Joy begins to fall for her Companion. Joy is romanced by his perfection, ignoring the advances of a human blind date, Brian. A devastating loss opens her up to the opportunity for a true human connection.
Carpal Tunnel
By Cori Diaz
Directed by Molly Shayna Cohen
Produced by Monika Orzelowski
October 7-11, 2026 at IRT Theater
It’s the vaguely present day in the year 20XX and master-of-the-novel Manna Benes wants you to meet her at the Roxbury Motel. Is this the worst thing that ever happened to you? Or is that writer’s block? A passion play and a family play and a tragicomedy and a history play and a surrealist play and a transgressive novel and an ekphrastic poem and a children’s book and a meditation on dance and a dance on meditation and an instruction manual and a coupon book and a pornographic magazine and a holy text. And a love story.
