Both of y'all are correct. Between Riverside and Crazy premiered at the Atlantic and most of the cast transferred to Second Stage for another run.
And yes, it's never been on Broadway. If Hand to God can't find an audience, sadly I don't think Riverside could either (unless it went to another not-for-profit with a built in subscription base).
RippedMan said: "I was thinking Water By the Spoonful. Didn't realize Between Riverside and Crazy won the Pulitzer. It seemed to have little cultural impact. "
In it's defense, Riverside has only been around for a year or so and just won the Pulitzer this last summer. It hasn't been licensed out to any other theatres that I know of (EDIT: As mentioned below, it has had at least one other production at ACT, but nevertheless not many). It took Disgraced (winner 2013) two years to hit Broadway before becoming widely produced this season. Basically, I'm saying that while it may not have a large cultural impact now, give it a few years and then make that determination.
Paul Zindel is a sadly underrated playwright. The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wilde was hilarious. Amulets Against the Dragon Forces was a beautiful work.
When one thinks of the crap by Baker, Butterworth, Eno, et al. that gets slobbered over by today's "arbiters" of "art'"....... it's appalling.
"Between Riverside and Crazy" just had its west coast premiere (I think) over at ACT in San Francisco in September. I was thinking about maybe driving down there after my trip to OSF in Ashland to try to see it, but my schedule didn't work out. So I think it's starting to get licensed out. It usually takes a couple of years for shows to start appearing regionally.
I saw Riverside at the ACT because Carl Lumbly is one of my favorite bay area actors. It was pretty good, though most of the performances weren't as good as they should have been.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I predict more and more Pulitzer winning Plays in the future will never be seen on Broadway as Broadway becomes less about theatre and more a showcase for theme park shows, jukebox crap and toons turned musicals. If the much revived Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee or Arthur Miller plays were written today they would never be seen on Broadway.
