The American Theatre Wing and Midtown's beloved Drama Book Shop have partnered to launch a monthly play-reading club, The Playreaders Club. The club will offer both in-person and virtual programming to engage the theatre community across the nation.
Each play will be selected by a committee of theatre artists, experts and industry members from the American Theatre Wing Board and Advisory members. This includes Tony Award-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (Kimberly Akimbo), Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), Tony Award-winning costume and scenic designer Clint Ramos (Once On This Island), theatre journalist and producer Ayanna Prescod (Pass Over), Tony Award-winning director Leigh Silverman(Violet), journalist and author Patrick Pacheco, and talent agent Ben Sands.
