Feeding the Dragon

In December 2009, a feature article in The New York Times entitled "Stoking the Furnace, and a Love for Books," chronicled Washington's unique childhood growing up within the walls of the New York Public Library.[54] Her mailbox was subsequently inundated with people "wanting to write her story." Washington ultimately opted to write her own story, which eventually took the form of her one-woman play, Feeding the Dragon.[55]

Feeding the Dragon had its world premiere at City Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA in October 2016.[52] The play was later premiered Off-Broadway at Primary Stages in March 2018,[56] in association with Jamie deRoy and Hartford Stage. All three productions starred Washington, and were directed by Maria Mileaf.[53] While developing the script, Washington was a 2017-18 Tow Foundation Playwright-in-Residence at Primary Stages.[57] The play received critical acclaim, holding a score of 82% on the review aggregator Show-Score.[58] Pete Hempstead, in a review for TheaterMania praised the production, writing "Washington has a storyteller's gift for animating her tale with lively and distinct impersonations of people from her past, and her easygoing delivery has a way of making us feel like we're taking part in a story-time hour. That endearing aspect of the show makes Washington a pleasure to watch."[59]

Feeding the Dragon was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Solo Performance. The play was subsequently published by Oberon Modern Plays[2] and adapted as an Audible Original.[3] As an audio play, Feeding the Dragon was selected as an "Audible Essentials Top 100 pick" and has been optioned for development into a live-action/animated YA series. Washington is currently working on a picture book adaptation of the play, entitled The Little Girl Who Lived in the Library for Scholastic. Washington's creative journey working on the play is chronicled in the award-winning documentary film When My Sleeping Dragon Woke directed by Chuck Schultz and Judah Lev-Dickstein.[60]

New York, New York

New York, New York premiered on Broadway at the St. James Theatre, running from March 24 through July 30, 2023.

In 2023, alongside David Thompson, Washington co-authored the book for New York, New York, a musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Inspired by and loosely based on the 1977 film of the same name by Martin Scorsese,[4] the musical premiered on Broadway at the St. James Theatre with the first preview occurring on March 24, 2023. The cast, which was announced on February 1 of the same year, included Clyde Alves, Emily Skinner, and Janet Dacal.[61] It officially opened on April 26, 2023,[62] and closed on July 30, 2023, having played 33 previews and 110 regular performances.[63]

Despite receiving mixed reviews and becoming a commercial disappointment, the Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, received nine Tony Awards at the 76th Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, winning the award for Best Scenic Design in a Musical.[64] Additionally, the production received six Drama Desk Award nominations, four Drama League Award nominations, and twelve Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, including for Outstanding New Broadway Musical.[65]
