Set in a very different Garden of Eden than the one we might recognize, Lilith and Eve —Adam’s first and second wives—go head-to-head and toe-to-toe on a woman’s true power, the nature of knowledge, and humanity’s eternal desires. Told with humor, magical realism, and sharp insight, She Walks in Beauty explores both everyday concerns and existential questions, including what to do with all the plastic invading Eden. Audiences may find themselves rethinking some of their most closely held beliefs.

**This full length world premiere signals a recommitment to premiering new works that have been developed through Ensemble Theatre's Stagewrights Unit and presented as readings during the Colombi New Plays Festival by local Cleveland playwrights. The Stagewrights unit meets virtually bi-weekly. More information about participating in the Stagewrights Unit is available on our website.
The 2027 Colombi New Plays Festival will surround this world premiere production with readings of plays in various stages of development. The 2027 Colombi New Plays Festival schedule will be announced once festival plays are selected. The 2027 Colombi New Plays Festival submission application will open in late October 2026.
