PLAYWRIGHTS HORIZONS 2023-24 PRODUCTIONS
Stereophonic
Written by David Adjmi
Songs by Will Butler
Directed by Daniel Aukin
Previews start October 2023
Mainstage Theater
David Adjmi's Stereophonic zooms in on a music studio in the mid '70s, where an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. Will the ensuing pressures spark their breakup - or their breakthrough? Featuring original music by Arcade Fire's Will Butler, this intimate, electric play mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation.
Stereophonic has received generous support from the Mellon Foundation.
Sad Boys in Harpy Land
Written and Performed by Alexandra Tatarsky
Previews start November 2023
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Running in Repertory with Amusements and School Pictures
Alexandra Tatarsky collages narratives of artmaking and despair into a semi-autobiographical tour-de-farce, as told by a young Jewish woman who thinks she is a small German boy who thinks he is a tree. Equal parts sad clown, demented cabaret, and extended crisis of meaning, this unhinged solo performance takes place in the hellscape of the mind.
School Pictures
Written & Performed by Milo Cramer
Directed by Morgan Green
Previews start November 2023
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Running in Repertory with Amusements and Sad Boys in Harpy Land
Faith hates reading, Jane lost her flashcards, and Javier sees no point in studying because of climate change. This playful collection of poem-songs, written and performed by Milo Cramer - a former tutor - paints intimate portraits of ten NYC students fighting to get into competitive schools. School Pictures is a charming musical journal of keen observations which builds to a sweeping meditation on inequality, learning, parenting, and the cruelty of puberty.
Amusements
Written & Performed by Ikechukwu Ufomadu
Previews start November 2023
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Running in Repertory with Sad Boys in Harpy Land and School Pictures
Emmy-nominated comedian Ikechukwu Ufomadu seeks to provide you, the audience, with the finest Amusements he can muster. Watch as this actor, entertainer and avant-garde soothsayer pursues this goal with serene diligence, defying genre while operating within the bounds of international law. His signature use of the time-tested tools of words, music, and light multimedia are sure to usher you oh-so-gently into a haze of mirthful absurdity.

Teeth
Book by Anna K. Jacobs and Michael R. Jackson
Music by Anna K. Jacobs
Lyrics by Michael R. Jackson
Choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly
Directed by Sarah Benson
Previews start February 2024
Mainstage Theater
Dawn O'Keefe is an evangelical Christian teen with a powerful secret not even she understands - when men violate her, her body bites back. Literally. From Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winner Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) and Anna K. Jacobs (POP!), Teeth, based on the cult classic film of the same name, is a fierce, rapturous, and savagely entertaining new musical crackling with irrepressible desire and ancient rage - a dark comedy conjuring the legend of one girl whose sexual curse is also her salvation.
Staff Meal
Written by Abe Koogler
Directed by Morgan Green
Previews start April 2024
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Outside, the world is breaking apart. But in here, a group of lonely city dwellers gather to find comfort and connection. Abe Koogler's Staff Meal is a kaleidoscopic comedy about a mysterious and beautiful restaurant, where the food is delicious, the service is warm, and some strange power keeps the darkness at bay. You are safe here - at least until closing time.
