Before the first performance on May 15th, 2014, a prayer was given in Lenape by Curtis Zunigha, (at the time) the Operations Manager and former Chief of the Deleware Tribe. The show was changed before its subsequent premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2018. "Manahatta" premiered as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival at the Thomas Theater on March 28th, 2018. It was directed by Laurie Woolery, with the only cast member returning from the pre-premiere production being Tanis Parenteau (Jane Snake/Le-le-wa'-you), and a premiering cast of Sheila Tousey (Bobbie/Mother), Rainbow Dickerson (Debra/Toosh-ki-pa-kwis-i), Steven Flores (Luke/Se-ket-tu-may-qua), Danforth Comins (Joe/Jakob), Jeffrey King (Dick Fuld/Peter Minuit), and David Kelly (Michael/Jonas Michaelius). The show was met with critical success, and ran until October 27th, 2018. The east coat premiere of the show, "Manahatta" ran at the Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, from January 24th to February 15th, 2020. This production was once again directed by Laurie Woolery, with Steven Flores (Luke/Se-ket-tu-may-qua), Danforth Comins (Joe/Jakob), and Jeffrey King (Dick Fuld/Peter Minuit) returning to the cast, with new cast members Carla-Rae (Bobbie/Mother), Lily Gladstone (Jane Snake/Le-le-wa'-you), Shyla Lefner (Debra/Toosh-ki-pa-kwis-i), and T. Ryder Smith (Michael/Jonas Michaelius) joining. It was the first play to be produced at the Yale Repertory Theater by a Native American playwright or to have a majority Native cast. At the request of one of his descendants, the set of the show featured a large image of Se-ket-tu-may-qua. This production was also met with critical success. As a production of the student-run theater company, the Front Row Theatre Company, "Manahatta" ran at the University of Pennsylvania at the Heyer Sky Lounge in Harrison College House from February 20th to February 22nd, 2020. Directed by Connor Beard, this was the first student production of the show, featuring the cast of Duval Courteau (Jane Snake/Le-le-wa'-you), Mika Graviet (Bobbie/Mother), and David Hernandez (Luke/Se-ket-tu-may-qua) (the remainder of the cast is unlisted).
