Show Info

On Christmas Eve, three generations of women gather in Rosie’s newly renovated kitchen to make chuchitos – a traditional Guatemalan recipe passed down by heart, touch, and intuition.

While her granddaughters attempt to document the dish step-by-step, they discover that what’s being preserved isn’t just food, and that recording and remembering are entirely different things. Spanning nearly two decades, Fantasma is a bittersweet exploration of what we keep, what we lose, and the impossibility of ever capturing it exactly right.

Fantasma was developed at the Primary Stages Liff Lab, a new play development program named by The Sulzberger Rolfe Foundation in memory of legendary theater agent Samuel “Biff” Liff.
Fantasma was originally commissioned by South Coast Repertory with support from the Elizabeth George Foundation. Developed in The Playwrights’ Center’s 40th Anniversary PlayLabs (Artistic Director: Jeremy Cohen), Duke University’s New Works Labs Residency, and The Public NYC. Additional dramaturgical contributions by Andy Knight, Sarah Lunnie, and Wendy Weckwerth. Developed in collaboration with Cat Rodriguez with Spanish translations by Cat Rodríguez.
Lead support for Fantasma is provided by Paula Kaminsky Davis and The Andrew Leynse Legacy Project at Primary Stages.
Major season support provided by The Howard Gilman Foundation, the A.R. Gurney Playwrights Fund, The SHS Foundation, The Shubert Foundation, The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Please join us for post-show talkbacks after the following performances:

  • Wednesday, November 18 at 7:00PM talkback with the cast and creative team
  • Friday, November 20 at 7:00PM - Latine Night: A Community Night and Talkback celebrating Latine Playwrights.Join Fantasma playwright Benjamin Benne in conversation with playwrights Migdalia Cruz (Miriam's Flowers, FUR, SALT), Cusi Cram (Dusty and the Big Bad World, Lucy and the Conquest, All the Bad Things), and more for a post-show discussion celebrating the Latine voice in American theater. Learn about their creative journeys, what it takes to navigate the theater landscape as a Latine playwright, and why it’s vital to keep telling culturally relevant stories.
  • Sunday, December 6 at 2:00PM - Latine Community Performance and Talkback in collaboration with LatinX Playwrights Circle. LatinX Playwrights Circle joins with Primary Stages for a post-show dialogue uplifting the work of Latine organizations and reflecting on the power of telling Latine stories through theater in the 2026 theatrical and political landscape.
