The Broadwater SEcond Stage
A writer and a director sit in an A-List movie star’s office waiting room.
And they wait...And they wait...And they wait.
Using Beckett’s classic play as a jumping off point, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT explores the angst and existential absurdity of being a creative professional, or just a human being with eyes to see and ears to hear, in the year of our-increasingly-absent-Lord 2026. Come gather for a theatrical communion. We are all facing this world alone. Why not do it together?

“Leave after the first lie.” That’s what everyone says, isn’t it?
It’s good advice. Because it’s a lot harder to leave after the second. Or the third. Or…
With her marriage imploding, Alix makes a final, desperate attempt to keep it all together by… posting a nude to the internet. (She doesn’t post her face, she’s not insane). Overnight, she finds herself catapulted into a world of kink, curiosity, and – unexpectedly – the support of a community she never knew existed.

About Us
About Us
Bespoke Plays is a writer-driven 501c3. Our board consists of playwrights who work in genre across TV, Film, Games, Comics and Podcasts. The plays we’ve developed run the gamut of science fiction, historical romance, dark comedy, magical realism, and political drama. Our core writers all have experience not just working in multiple mediums but recognizing the strengths of a story for adaptation in one medium vs another. Actors in our company have had significant roles in shows such as Star Trek: Discovery, The Magicians, Yellowjackets, Leverage, The Affair, City on the Hill, Supergirl, Daredevil, Punisher, Madam Secretary, Supernatural, Westworld, Sailor Moon, Girls5eva and House of Cards as well on Broadway and in National Tours. All of our casts and/or creative teams have been multicultural and many have included the full gender and sexuality spectrum. The stories that we choose to tell and the artists behind the scenes also represent gender parity and this diversity of worldviews. We offer opportunities for cultivating multi-hyphenates as writers and actors frequently switch hats as well as crossing over into directing and producing. Our readings are customized to the goals of the writer and the readiness of the play and we have always paid our actors and directors union recommended stipends. We believe theater is a community first, and a vital living artform where future diverse content and talent can still be discovered.
