A Word from Our Artists

“What are these plays doing to me??? Have they made me smarter? Prettier? Richer? “Better”? A better son/citizen/lover? Unequivocally: yes. They somehow have.”

“Here is something I should not say: Writing is terrible.”

I have never felt so supported as an artist as I do at Playwrights Horizons.

We gather here, again and again, because we need these worlds, these great reckonings offered to us by playwrights.

The support we received from Playwrights Horizons was unparalleled.

We’re opening our doors, which also means saying “yes” to ambition.

Playwrights Horizons rose above and beyond every challenge.

They spot miracles, and then realize them.

That feeling finally came at Playwrights.

They see me as a Whole Artist. And they are not afraid of it.

Playwrights Horizons has stayed true to itself over the years, paradoxically, by changing and evolving.

I know I’ve become a better person because of the work I’ve experienced over the years at Playwrights.

Playwrights Horizons has found that rare and beautiful balance of being profoundly important and unwaveringly good.

Their mission is, and always has been, to take these risks so we can all grow.

One of the most caring artistic homes I have ever known.

But Playwrights Horizons – for whatever combination of perverse psychological factors – continues stubbornly, irrationally, maybe, to produce new plays.
