Join us at Playwrights Horizons for the captivating new play, "Staff Meal," written by the talented Abe Koogler and directed by the visionary Morgan Green. This kaleidoscopic comedy is set to grace the stage of the Peter Jay Sharp Theater starting April 12, 2024. Dive into a world where the outside may be crumbling, but inside a mysterious and beautiful restaurant, a group of lonely city dwellers finds solace, connection, and a strange power that wards off the darkness. "Staff Meal" promises an evening of delicious food, warm service, and an atmosphere where you're safe—at least until closing time.

This production has been made possible through the generous support of the Venturous Theater Fund, a Fund of Tides Foundation, and is part of Playwrights Horizons' season, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Critics have praised Koogler for his ability to capture the essence of reality while hinting at the eternal, creating characters that are earnest, idiosyncratic, and humorously critical of societal hierarchies.

Don't miss your chance to experience this unique blend of tension and simplicity that promises to tug at your heartstrings. Secure your season package today for early booking and ensure your spot at one of the most anticipated productions of the year.

Amanda lives in an illusion of recapturing her faded Southern Belle glory. Her daughter Laura lives in a fantasy world of delicate glass figurines, and her son Tom dreams poetically of a world beyond the back stoop. When Tom brings home a Gentleman Caller to meet his sister, The Glass Menagerie weaves these lives into a heart-stopping dance of hopes pursued and dreams betrayed. Considered by many to be Tennessee Williams’ greatest play, The Glass Menagerie is an achingly beautiful story of longing and love that has touched generations of theatergoers with its sparkling, delicate radiance.

When Saigon falls in 1975, Quang and Tong, two Vietnamese refugees separated from their previous partners, have a sexy meet-cute in Arkansas that promptly becomes a no-strings-attached relationship to pass the time. Living in the land of “cheeseburgers, waffle fries and cholesterol” (aka America) proves to be an intoxicating adventure that leads Quang and Tong to question their futures, both together and in their new country. Part history play and part memoir, this whip-smart comedy is punctuated with flashbacks and bursts of rap songs, all while giving unabashed reflections on American culture and offering a human-centered view of the Vietnam War and its aftermath.

Letters That You Will Not Get: Women's Voices from the Great War, by composer Kirsten Volness and co-librettists Susan Werbe and Kate Holland, gives voice to American, British, European, Asian, African and Caribbean women affected by WWI through a series of vignettes that share their responses to the war—from enthusiasm to resignation; support to opposition; the war’s beginning to its end. Combining powerful contemporary music with excerpts from women’s writings on both sides of the conflict, Letters tells the story of the Great War as experienced by the women who lived through it.
