All the Men Who’ve Frightened Me

World-Premiere Play

All the Men Who’ve Frightened Me

SEP – OCT 2025 | Mandell Weiss Forum

By Noah Diaz | Directed by Kat Yen

Young married couple Ty and Nora are preparing to move into Ty’s childhood home to start a family. While they are busy choosing paint colors, lamps and throw pillows, they learn that Nora is unable to carry the child they so desperately want. So Ty, a trans man, makes the impulsive decision to carry the baby himself.

Ty and Nora’s preparations for parenthood begin to collapse when three mysterious men from Ty’s past inexplicably begin appearing in their new home.

Noah Diaz’s rich, multi-layered, magical drama is full of shrewd insights and humor. Helmed by the Playhouse’s Directing Fellow Kat Yen, All The Men Who’ve Frightened Me is the 12th play to make the jump from our DNA New Work Series to the main stage. Expect the unexpected in this wildly surprising family story with a huge heart.
