A Strange Loop
/
Who we are
Our vision
We believe in theater as the most human and immediate medium to tell the stories of our time,
and affirm the primacy and centrality of the playwright to the form.
Our writers
We support each playwright’s full creative development and nurture their unique voice,
resulting in a heterogeneous mix of as many styles as there are artists.
Our productions
We share the stories of today by the writers of tomorrow. These intrepid, diverse artists develop
plays and musicals that are relevant, intelligent, and boundary-pushing. Our plays reflect the
world around us through stories that can only be told on stage.
Our audience
Much like our work, the 60,000 people who join us each year are curious and adventurous.
Playwrights is committed to engaging and developing audiences to sustain the future of
American theater. That’s why we offer affordably priced tickets to every performance to young
people and others, and provide engaging content — both onsite and online — to delight and
inspire new play lovers in NYC, around the country, and throughout the world.
Our process
We meet the individual needs of each writer in order to develop their work further. Our New
Works Lab produces readings and workshops to cultivate our artists’ new projects. Through our
robust commissioning program and open script submission policy, we identify and cultivate the
most exciting American talent and help bring their unique vision to life.
Our downtown programs
…reflect and deepen our mission in numerous ways, including the innovative curriculum at
our Theater School, mutually beneficial collaborations with our Resident Companies, and
welcoming myriad arts and education not-for-profits that operate their programs in our studios.
Our conviction
We are a home for the American writer. It is expressed in our very name: we are Playwrights.
Playwrights Horizons – where theater begins
Our name is written many different ways by those who shape it
most directly: our playwrights. This version of the logo was written
by Michael R. Jackson, using his unique hand to imprint our
company name. For more information, visit [Link]/about.

The Strange Loop phenomenon occurs
