Although the season was cut short by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the mandated shutdown of theaters in March 2020, we were able to present the majority of our planned productions. These included: "Our Dear Dead Drug Lord" by Alexis Scheer: In this fierce and feverish comedy, a gang of teenage girls gathers in an abandoned treehouse to summon the ghost of Pablo Escobar. Are they messing with the actual spirit of the infamous cartel kingpin? Or are they really just messing with each other? This world premiere was a co-production with the WP Theater and ran from September 11, 2019 January 5, 2020 at the McGinn/Cazale Theater. It received Obie Awards for directing and set design. "Linda Vista" by Tracy Letts: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) takes a brutally comedic look at Wheeler, a 50-year-old divorcee in the throes of a mid-life spiral. Just out of his ex-wifes garage and into a place of his own, WHEELER STARTS ON A PATH TOWARD SELF-DISCOVERY - NAVIGATING BLIND DATES, OLD FRIENDS, AND NEW LOVE. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL RAVED "LINDA VISTA", "MIGHT BE MR. LETTS' BEST PLAY YET." DIRECTED BY DEXTER BULLARD, THE PLAY RAN FROM SEPTEMBER 19 - NOVEMBER 10 AT THE HAYES THEATER AND WAS SEEN BY AN AUDIENCE OF 59,408. IT RECEIVED TWO TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS: IAN BARFORD FOR BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE IN A PLAY, AND CORA VANDER BROEK FOR BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A FEATURED ROLE IN A PLAY. "The Underlying Chris" by Will Eno: This world premiere commission is a life-affirming and high-spirited look at how a person comes into their identity. Through a series of scenes where characters genders and races shift, the play tells the story of the life of Chris who is also Christiana, Kit, Topher, Christine, Christopher, and others from babyhood to old age. The play asks the question: How do lifes tiniest moments profoundly change our lives? The play was a New York Times Critics Pick and ran from October 29 December 15 at the Tony Kiser Theater, where it was seen by 12,310 people. "Grand Horizons" by Bess Wohl: The only original play by a female playwright in the truncated 2019-20 Broadway season, "Grand Horizons" is a funny and painfully honest look at a 50-year marriage. Just as Bill and Nancy settle comfortably into their new home in the Grand Horizons retirement community, Nancy announces that she wants a divorce. Grand Horizons was seen by 39,114 audience members during its run from December 23, 2019 March 1, 2020 at the Hayes Theater. It was nominated for two Tony Awards Best Play and Best Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for Jane Alexander. "Were Gonna Die" by Young Jean Lee: Through a series of stories and songs that range from hilarious to heartbreaking, "Youre Gonna Die" explores the idea of human vulnerability and the inevitability of aging and death. Our new production was directed by Raja Feather Kelly and starred Janelle McDermoth. "Were Gonna Die" ran from February 4 March 12, 2020 at the Tony Kiser Theater, closing a week early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was seen by an audience of 9,803. Additional Programs for Artists Beyond the productions on our stages, we also develop new works and provide career opportunities for theater artists through commissions, readings, and workshops. We are currently working with twenty-one commissioned writers, and we continue to partner with Center Theater Group in LA to jointly commission and develop new plays. We host approximately 15 readings and workshops each year to help both emerging and established playwrights develop new work. Prior to the start of the pandemic, we held several events during the grant period including readings of Bess Wohls commissioned play and Rajiv Josehps commissioned play, and a three-week workshop of Stereophonic by David Adjmi. We have continued to hold virtual readings and work sessions with commissioned writers during the shutdown, for shows including "Take Me Out" by Richard Greenberg and a new play by Lynn Nottage. Education and Outreach Second Stage makes our productions accessible to all through our Affordable Ticket Initiative, which includes $30 Youth Advance tickets, $25 Student Access tickets, $20-35 General Rush tickets, and free tickets through Culture Pass in partnership with the New York, Brooklyn, and Queens Public Library systems We served approximately 14,000 people with these free and low-cost tickets during the FY20 season. In order to stay connected with our audiences during the current shutdown of theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Second Stage has launched a series of virtual programs for our subscribers and donors. Recent events have included a book club discussion of "By the Way, Meet Vera Stark" by Lynn Nottage featuring a guest appearance by the playwright, a chat with award-winning costume and set designer Clint Ramos, and a virtual listening party featuring songs and b-roll from Second Stages production of "Dear Evan Hansen." COVID-19 Impact The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on Second Stage. As mandated by the state, our theaters have been closed since March 12, 2020 making it necessary for us to close one production early ("Were Gonna Die" by Young Jean Lee), and postpone another ("Take Me Out" by Richard Greenberg). The pandemic decimated our earned income, resulting in a deficit of approximately $5 million for FY20, nearly 23% of our planned budget. Due to this debilitating loss, we had to make the difficult decision to furlough more than two- thirds of our staff. We have been forced to scale down in order to keep moving forward and to ensure that 2ST has the resources to reopen after the crisis has passed. We spent the second half of FY20 focused on planning for our recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic abates. Our highest priority during the shut-down has been continuing to move our artistic projects forward while remaining engaged with our audiences and artists. We convened a Recovery Task Force of our Board to focus on surviving the current crisis and planning for the future of the theater in the two to three years thereafter. The members are using their expertise in the worlds of business, law, the arts and philanthropy to help Second Stage develop a sustainable model for future operations. 14368679 true true false true false false false false false false true false true false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false true false false false false true false false false true true false false false true 44 0 689 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false X 40 39 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true true true CT MA NJ NY PA X X CAROLE FORSTER 2127878302 1501 BROADWAY SUITE 518 NEW YORK NY 10036 Carole Forster president Artistic Director 40.0 0.0 X X 161546 0 232695 Casey t Rietz Exec.
