SOMETIMES IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY, BUT HOW YOU DON’T SAY IT.

After a one-year hiatus, Playwrights Horizons is bringing back STORIES ON FIVE STORIES, one of its most popular and beloved special events.
STORIES ON FIVE STORIES: The Elephant in the Room will be a one-night-only benefit in which we ask writers to create and stage seven minute plays about a common theme in unique, far-flung locations throughout the theater’s five floor building. Short plays have taken place in the actor dressing rooms, public restrooms, offices and other unpredictable spaces. Guests tour the building in groups to see all of the works and then gather together at the end for a concluding reception with the writers and performers. A special “Too Big To Be Ignored” ticket include an intimate pre-show dinner at Chez Josephine with artists.
Be one of only 200 guests to experience this unusual evening of entertainment in which silence will in no way be golden!
