“Who gets thanked?” asks the matriarch at the center of the Julia May Jonas play “Women Among Women,” which made its debut in Bushwick this week, doubling as the debut production at the recently-remade Bushwick Starr, a local theater company that has just moved its playhouse out of “an apartment on the second floor of 207 Starr Street,” as memorably described a decade ago by the New York Times, which had celebrated the address as a fulcrum of then-nascent Bushwick theater culture. It was not Jonas’ first time putting on material with group; a decade younger, fresh out of an MFA program at Columbia, she was putting on “Evelyn” at the old location, considered at the time a meditation on her own time spending a month in “a wayward girls institution,” per a brief write-up in the Brooklyn Rail in 2012.
