A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ITS PURPOSE IS THEATRE EDUCATION, WHICH IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SPECIAL PERFORMANCES FOR NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL CHILDREN, SUBSCRIBER DISCUSSIONS WITH THEATRE ARTISTS AND AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. false false 21573404 22888978 Second Stage presented five shows during the 2023-24 season. The season opened with SPAIN by Jen Silverman, which ran from November 8 to December 17, 2023, at the Tony Kiser Theater. This world premiere commission is about Russian spies in New York City in the 1930s. It is inspired by the life of Joris Ivens, a Dutch documentary filmmaker who was active in the first half of the twentieth century. Helmed by Tyne Rafaeli, this production reached 11,362 theatergoers. Similarly, "APPROPRIATE" by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins ran at the Hayes Theater, our Broadway house, from November 29, 2023, to March 3, 2024. Directed by Lila Neugebauer, this darkly comic play offers a new perspective on the tradition of American family dramas by writers like Tennessee Williams, Horton Foote, and Tracy Letts, while incorporating a new perspective. This play follows the Lafayette family as its estranged members return to the crumbling plantation home of their recently deceased patriarch. Things take a turn when mysterious objects are discovered among the clutter. Suddenly, long-hidden secrets and buried resentments cannot be contained, and the family is forced to face the ghosts of their past. This production welcomed 58,494 audience members and received three Tony Awards (Best Revival, Best Performance by an Actress, and Best Lighting Design.) In the spring, we produced Paula Vogel's "MOTHER PLAY", which ran from April 3 to June 16, 2024 and reached 48,105 people. This bitingly funny and unflinchingly honest new play is about familial relationships and the surprises we find when we unpack the past. It is 1962, just outside of D.C. and Phyllis is supervising her teenage children, Carl and Martha, as they move into a new apartment. The matriarch has strong ideas about what her children need to do and be to succeed, and woe be the child who finds their own path. This production featured Jessica Lange, Jim Parsons, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and Tina Landau at the helm. Next, we produced Alexis Scheer's "BREAKING THE STORY", directed by Jo Bonney. This production took place at the Kiser Theater between May 16 and Jun 23, 2024 and had 11,849 attendees. This drama follows Marina, a war correspondent putting her life on the line to chase stories that illuminate humanity's darkest corners. Having just returned from a tumultuous conflict, she contemplates staying home for good-alongside her cameraman turned lover. With her closest friends and family gathered on the eve of her lifetime achievement award ceremony, she decides to cap this glorious moment with an elopement. But as Marina tries to take hold of her life, she is forced to reckon with the hold war has on her. The season also included the Next Stage Festival, which featured four public readings, a full production of one play for a four-week run, and a writer-focused development lab. We produced Kate Douglas' "THE APIARY", and hosted readings of "ON THE EVOLUTIONARY FUNCTION OF SHAME" by D.A. Mindell, "THE GOOD GUYS" by Sarah Mantel, and "TIGER BEAT" by Kaela Mei-Shing Garvin. We also hosted a one-night-only reading of the new musical "EIGHTY-SIXED" by Jeremy J. King and Sam Salmond. Each production was accompanied by a variety of activities, including post-show talkbacks and conversations with casts and creative teams. In total, our programming reached 103,135 attendees. In line with our efforts for affordable tickets, we distributed 14,933 tickets for free or at a subsidized rate. Finally, our student matinee reached 565 students throughout our productions. Student matinees also include a study guide and a talk-back with the cast and creative team after the show. 21573404 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false false true true false false false true 94 0 751 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false X 31 30 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true true true CT MA NJ NY PA X X ADAM SIEGEL 2127878302 1501 BROADWAY SUITE 518 NEW YORK NY 10036 Carole Rothman President & Art Dir. thru 8/24 40.0 0.0 X X 497892 0 537985 McBrien A Dunbar Head Carpenter, Hayes Theater 40.0 0.0 X 229485 0 67698 Amelia S Roy head Electrician, Hayes Theater 40.0 0.0 X 215511 0 63575 LISA LAWER POST INTERIM EXEC.
