Program areas at Primary Stages
In the 2022/23 Season, Primary Stages returned as the Resident Off-Broadway Theater Company at 59E59 Theaters and produced 3 plays: ON THAT DAY IN AMSTERDAM by Clarence Coo, PEERLESS by Jiehae Park, and YES, I CAN SAY THAT! by Judy Gold. We also supported 6 emerging writers in our Dorothy Streslin New American Writers Group, women and non-binary writers in our Echoes Writers Group, and 4 early-career playwrights through our Creative Access Program partnerships with the Latinx Playwrights Circle, National Black Theater, National Queer Theater, and Pan Asian Repertory Theater. We served 275 heater artists at all career levels through classes and workshops at the Einhorn School for Performing Arts taught by working theater artists. We also served over 1,000 NYC public school students through our Free Student Matinees.
