ON THE MARQUEE: Off Broadway’s
Vineyard Theatre is set to bring 2 of its critically acclaimed productions to the Great Bright Way this Fall. As part of its REPERTORY ON BROADWAY series, these plays consist of Tina Satter’s
Is This A Room and Lucas Hnath’s
Dana H.
One of our amazing friend and followers was so kind once again to share these incredible photos taken featuring updated front of house billboards outside the series soon-to-be home at Broadway’s legendary Lyceum Theatre.
PLEASE NOTE: Both these plays are extremely intense but powerful dramas.
IS THIS A ROOM (led by Emily Davis) will begin preview performances September 24th, 2021 and will officially open on October 11th, 2021.
DANA H (a one woman show starring Deidre O’Connell) will start its previews October 1st, 2021 and will open October 17th, 2021.
Vineyard’s REPERTORY ON BROADWAY will alternate BOTH these productions for a limited run through January 16th, 2022.
How interesting is this?
Who is excited?!!
