The Queer Séance at #3 Sutton Place
Written by Hannah Benitez | Directed by Amy Coker
It’s 1903 and the daughter of J.P. Morgan, America’s third-richest man, is desperate to secure her place in Daddy’s will. Her plan? Summon the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci to authenticate a suspiciously acquired Mona Lisa that could save her from scandal and change the course of her legacy. To pull it off, she must enlist the help of her lover, her lover’s husband, and her lover’s husband’s lover. When you cram this many secrets, scandals, and queer tension into a single tearoom, who really needs the spirits to stir up the drama?
A whip-smart dark comedy about power, privilege, and the ghosts we carry—in history and in ourselves.
Coconut Grove Theatre Festival is thrilled to be bringing theatre back to the Grove with a weekend of staged play readings, May 8-11, 2025, at the Woman’s Club of Coconut Grovefeaturing South Florida playwrights, directors, and actors!
