Heard is seen with her hair styled long and straight, wearing a white blouse. The play is called "Spirit of the People" and is one of the most anticipated theater productions of the year.

"In my theater era x," she captioned the post, tagging O'Harris.
This marks Heard's most notable role in years. In 2023, she premiered her film "In The Fire" at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy. Before that, she starred in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom."

"Spirit of the People" will premiere at the MainStage at Williamstone Theater Festival, which kicks off in New York this July 17th. The play is led by Katina Medina Mora and is rounded out by a cast that includes Heard, Brandon Flynn, Tonatiuh, Leo Mehiel, and more.

In February of this year, Harris previewed the play at the Guggenheim Museum, revealing that the name is a reference to Mezcal, the Mexican spirit. While plot details have yet to be revealed, the show “confronts uncomfortable truths about land and what it means to destroy it."
In an interview with Variety, Harris said the play was a challenge to write on multiple levels. "The play is half in Spanish, and I don’t speak Spanish. The play has a significant level of prose within it. I’m not a prose writer. I’m trying a lot of different things.”
