Stories on Five Stories: Poetic Justice – Monday, October 22, 2012
Stories on 5 Stories, a unique, one-night-only benefit, brought together New York City’s finest writers and actors to create short plays and musicals in unexpected settings throughout Playwrights Horizons’ theater complex. Audience members traveled in groups to experience seven original works in surprising, site-specific locations, then mingled with the artists at an exclusive after-party! This year, writers explore the notion of Poetic Justice.
