Variety: All Arts’ upcoming non-fiction feature “Manhattan Theatre Club, a Home for Artists” will explore the 50-year history of one of the most impactful off-Broadway theaters in New York. Helmed by the club’s very own Lynne Meadow and Barry Grove, the film stitches together archival footage and photos and interviews with stars like Laura Linney, Edie Falco, Sam Waterston and Sarah Jessica Parker.

This article made my heart feel all warm and fuzzy. Prior to reading this I had no knowledge of the Manhattan Theatre Club. I love the mission of the theater and how it functions. Having a space that produces only new works, that is so cool! I cannot wait to see the full feature and learn more about the theater. I was impressed by all the big names associated with it and the amount of awards they have collected. Another thing I observed watching the video at the bottom I really loved was how grounded everyone felt and how connected it felt. I liked how all of the artists had positive things to say about Lynne Meadow and Barry Grove. It felt like a safe and supportive community which is exactly how I would imagine a community that produces new works to feel. Producing new worlds often involves taking risks and making mistakes and it is spaces like these that create environments where that can happen.
Being someone who is really interested in film and lives on the East Coast this was very exciting information for me to read about. I knew that there were a couple film studios here and there in New York, but I didn’t know that it would even be possible for Manhattan to claim its own complex. This is an incredible idea that will hopefully lead to countless opportunities for people in the industry. I’m surprised that it will be opening so soon in 2025. This means that I could possibly work there once I graduate, which is very exciting to me. I also like the fact that they incorporated bringing something to the greater community of New York with the public restrooms and open pier access. That is a great contribution to the greater public of New York city and surely is something to look forward to. I also did not know that New York has the second largest collection of studios, but I guess it makes sense. I didn’t think that there were actually that many studios, and I had no idea that they were actually a bot outside of the city. I guess that’s because it's hard to find good, large spaces within the city that actually accommodate the studio’s needs.
I'm so sorry please disregard my comment above. I posted it on the wrong article.
