new play being something of a
risk and an old chestnut being a
guarantee of entertainment.
Personally, I’ve had some of my
most thrilling experiences in the
theater seeing something that’s
never been done before and I’ve
had some of the most God awful
experiences in the theatre seeing
plays that for hundreds of years
have been touted as tried and
true classics!
It’s absolutely vital that theatres
like NJ Rep continue to have a
robust production calendar. I
only wish more professional theatre companies took the same
view of new work and were excited by new work as opposed
to being nervous or cautious or
daunted by the fact that they’ve
never heard of the play or the
playwright.
NJ Rep is a particularly great
theatre for playwrights like myself to collaborate with because
they not only do new work, but
they do them really well. And
they market them to the audience like “It you don’t see it now,
you’re going to miss the chance
to see it for the very first time.”
Plus many plays have gone on to
have an afterlife beyond NJ Rep.
