Her Hand’s on the Gavel / Her Foot’s in the Door
Emmy Award® winner Holland Taylor (“The Practice,” “Two and a Half Men,” Ann) and Theatre World Award winner Ana Villafañe (On Your Feet) star as two congresswomen, generations apart. From Congressional aide, turned playwright Mario Correa and Tony Award®-winning director Diane Paulus (Jagged Little Pill) a world premiere play about power, politics, and the perilous path to progress.
N/A is a whip-smart battle of wills — and wits — between N, the first woman Speaker of the House, and A, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Inspired by real people and events, this riveting two-hander illuminates the person whom many consider the most powerful woman in American history… and the once-in-a-generation political talent who defied her.
N/A has a runtime of 80 minutes with no intermission.

Holland won an Emmy® Award for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 1999 for her groundbreaking performance as ‘Judge Roberta Kittleson’ on ABC’s legal drama “The Practice”. She has received a grand total of eight Emmy® nominations including another for “The Practice”, one for her guest appearance on the comedy series, “The Lot”, and an incredible four nods for her inspired work on CBS’s #1 sitcom, “Two and A Half Men”. Her most recent nomination was for Ryan Murphy’s global hit, “Hollywood”.

Kelley’s “Mr. Mercedes”, based on a series of novels by Stephen King. She also starred in two auspicious Norman Lear projects: “The Powers That Be”; and “Guess Who Died”. In 2021 she starred in Netflix’s “The Chair”, opposite Sandra Oh and Jay Duplass. On the feature side, Holland can be seen in Bill & Ted Face the Music, the latest installment in the cult classic film series, in which she stars as ‘The Great Leader’.
