Kerry Washington is returning to the New York stage in 2026!
The former Scandal actress previously appeared on Broadway in the plays Race and American Son and now she’ll be performing in the Off-Broadway production of The Whoopi Monologues, written by Whoopi Goldberg.
Kerry will be joined in the show by Tony winner Kara Young, as well as more performers to be announced soon.
Whoopi originally premiered the play in 1984 as a one-woman show on Broadway, but it’s being reworked for a new production directed by Tony nominee Whitney White.
The show will be performed at Lincoln Center Theater’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater with performances beginning in July 2026.
Kerry is a two-time Tony Award nominee for her producing work on Broadway, including as a producer on the current revival of Gypsy. We’ll find out if she wins this weekend!
