These details, however, are only the surface level of director Julia Levy, Roundabout has achieved many milestones both on- and off-stage. how i create a season at Roundabout. My goal each season is to fulfill the mission that has brought so many wonderful people to Roundabout both on-stage and in the audience over the years – and that is to do great productions with stories Roundabout’s variety and artistic depth this year was no exception to seasons past. We saw revivals of powerful that we can relate to, empathize with, and in which we recognize ourselves. Classic shows and new works that endure, plays like Man and Boy, The Road to Mecca and Look Back in Anger, as well as the Broadway premiere of the because they are a vital part of who we are. hilarious farce Don’t Dress for Dinner.

Beyond the stage, Roundabout made important strides in expanding our digital presence with increased social media marketing and a new website. it’s easier to buy tickets and make donations, and social media is integrated For me, one of the proudest moments this season came from seeing the success of stephen Karam’s Sons of the throughout the site.

Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.
