Playwrights Horizons

I love the work they do at this theater company. They are truly dedicated to shepherding new plays and they’ve been responsible for some terrific premieres.

I saw A Strange Loop in preview in 2019 and it was an absolute marvel. I raved about its queer inventiveness and the performances, especially of my friend John-Andrew Morrison. Was not surprised to see it move on to a Broadway run and a Pulitzer. That’s the power and potential of our generative “off” stages.

I actually prefer Off-Broadway to Broadway. It’s more experimental and interesting. And the three theater companies on this block of W42nd Street — Theatre Row, Playwrights Horizons, and Signature Theatre — are all excellent and conveniently located.
