The Red Room will close

Another Off-Off Broadway space will soon be gone. I directed plays at the Red Room years ago, happily, working with Anthony Pennino. It's a place where lots of Off-Off Broadway performers cut their teeth, enjoyed some stage time, experimented. Sad to see it go, but it's not alone. There's less room in Manhattan these days for the scrappy plays, more space for oddly prepared comfort food and brunch. It's the way of things. So it goes.

Forward.
