The Play Company Performance

In July 2021, Carroll Hall hosted The Play Company’s fifth installment of writer and director William Burke's IS IT SUPPOSED TO LAST? At a time when our isolation and uncertain futures amplify the need to care for ourselves and try to care for others, the series explored the question "What happens when the nurturers are unable to nurture the people who need them?" For the first time, the series’ final performance allowed for an in-person audience to experience the work. Carroll Hall was thrilled to host this live performance. The Play Company is an Obie Award-winning Off Broadway nonprofit theatre that commissions, develops and produces new plays, from the U.S. and around the world, to create contemporary theatre that reflects and responds to both our New York City home and today’s interconnected world. They support ambition and experimentation in both form and content. They champion new and marginalized voices to expand the repertoire of artists represented on U.S. stages. They commit to affordable access and collaborative community engagement, welcoming inclusive audiences to join them in exploring the meaning of our time through live theatre experiences.
