New Play From Pulitzer-Winning Lynn Nottage Among 2021 Broadway Lineup
Second Stage Theater (Carole Rothman, President and Artistic Director) has confirmed two plays for its Broadway home, The Hayes Theater, as well as one play for its off-Broadway home, The Tony Kiser Theater, for its upcoming 42nd Season in 2021. An additional off-Broadway production will be announced in the coming months.
Second Stage Theater’s 2021 Season will feature the New York premiere of Lynn Nottage’s latest work, directed by Nottage’s frequent collaborator, Kate Whoriskey. Performances begin on Broadway in the fall of 2021.
Spring of 2021 will see the return of playwright Rajiv Joseph, whose plays All This Intimacy, Animals Out of Paper and Gruesome Playground Injuries received productions at Second Stage Theater. Directed by May Adrales, Letters Of Suresh will have its world premiere at Second Stage’s off-Broadway Tony Kiser Theater (305 West 43rd Street).
They join the previously announced production of Richard Greenberg’s Tony Award-winning play, Take Me Out. Postponed due to the current Broadway suspension, Take Me Out will be coming to Broadway next year with performances beginning the week of March 22, 2021 at Second Stage’s Hayes Theater (240 West 44th Street). Opening night is set for Thursday, April 22, 2021.
Take Me Out will star Patrick J. Adams, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jesse Williams with Julian Cihi, Hiram Delgado, Brandon J. Dirden, Carl Lundstedt, Ken Marks, Michael Oberholtzer, Eduardo Ramos and Tyler Lansing Weaks and is directed by Scott Ellis.
“We are thrilled to welcome Lynn Nottage (2ST’s Crumbs from the Table of Joy; By the Way, Meet Vera Stark) and Rajiv Joseph (2ST’s All This Intimacy, Animals Out of Paper, Gruesome Playground Injuries) back to Second Stage and to continue our longstanding collaborations,” said 2ST President and Artistic Director Carole Rothman. “As Broadway works together to return even stronger than before, our dedication to living American playwrights feels vital to the resurgence of the theatrical landscape.”
