    2017/18 ANNUAL REPORT Harriet D. Foy and Joniece Abbott-Pratt in THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND, Photo by Joan Marcus Board of Trustees Dear friends- James C. Nicola As we sit and reflect on New York Theatre Workshop’s 2017/18 season, we are humbled by all that our ARTISTIC DIRECTOR community of artists, staff, supporters and audiences brought into the world. We are living in a moment of great uncertainty and cannot express enough gratitude for the artists who have taken this uncertainty head Jeremy Blocker on, grappling with questions of how we move forward both as individuals and as a collective. MANAGING DIRECTOR These questions are daunting and have no single answer. Each individual and community brings their own Barbara Warner Howard CHAIR perspective and imagination. For the first time in many years, we expanded our production capacity from four to five productions, making space for more artists to contend with these pressing questions. And it was a true Kelly Fowler Hunter honor to welcome back four women who have long been part of the NYTW family to helm these ambitious PRESIDENT projects. Allan S. Gordon The season began with Amy Herzog’s deeply human MARY JANE. Anne Kauffman’s quietly stunning VICE CHAIR production celebrated a resilient mother and the power of both fleeting and sustained human connection. As the days grew shorter, we were graced with the haunting and healing melodies of Shaun and Abigail Bengon’s Jack Bamberger VICE PRESIDENT HUNDRED DAYS, reminding us that love and hope bring light in fearful times.

But in the course of one school year, Alan, Rob and their friends struggle with what it means to be married with children at this head-spinning cultural moment. By turns comic and serious, DADA WOOF PAPA HOT asks the question: are the challenges of gay dads the same as those of straight ones, or is there something fundamentally different about being a gay parent?
