It’s hard to think of another writer who has had such a profound effect on the American theater. Stephen Sondheim, you left this world with so many gifts. We were fortunate to help produce just two of them throughout your prolific, astounding career. What an incredible loss.

Last night at the ending of Tambo & Bones, a white man stormed out of the Playwrights Horizons MainStage, flipped a table in the lobby, went outside, took a big ass planter from the restaurant next door, threw it into incoming traffic & ran off destroying property along the way.
