Mission

State of Play Productions is a hot little incubator hatching new work by artists from every medium. We believe that artists should always take risks so we provide a playful yet committed environment that encourages constant artistic expansion.

Company History

State of Play Theatre was formed on January 30th, 2006, when its members decided to formalize their working relationship and produce a unique show called The City That Cried Wolf, by Brooks Reeves. After touring western Massachusetts the company moved to New York and the production became part of the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival. Along with several great reviews State of Play received an invitation to re-mount the production at the prestigious 59E59Theaters in December 2007. Besides producing several smaller projects including staged readings and an evening of one-acts, State of Play spent over a year rehearsing, rewriting and developing The City That Cried Wolf for its next incarnation. The show ran four weeks at 59E59 with exceptional ticket sales and rave reviews, most notably from The New York Times.

State of Play Theatre continues to seek out and collaborate with young artists, bringing exciting new work to the public’s eye. For more information on past shows and the upcoming 2008 Season, see the Shows page.
