Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning’s Meet the Playwright Series Returns with ImmerenSiS by Dezi Bing

The Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL) continues its 2025–2026 season of its acclaimed Meet the Playwright series with ImmerenSiS, a surreal, lyrical, and form-bending new work by actress, writer, and storyteller Dezi Eivah Bing. As JCAL’s signature platform for new theatrical voices enters its first-ever all-women season, ImmerenSiS stands as a bold continuation of the program’s commitment to spotlighting powerful, creative women voices shaping the future of American theatre.

Part magical realism and part emotional excavation, ImmerenSiS follows a sharp, funny, and complex Black woman protagonist who resists the world’s attempts to flatten her story. Through a vivid sequence of poetic and surreal encounters, she confronts questions of ambition, identity, and self-definition, ultimately reclaiming her agency and imagination. Rich with humor, vulnerability, and visionary staging, the play affirms creativity as both survival and liberation.
The evening will conclude with a post-show conversation with the playwright, offering audiences an intimate look into Bing’s artistic process and continuing JCAL’s mission to bridge theatre-making with community engagement in Southeast Queens.
