The Vineyard to Present 'Wig Out' This Fall

This fall the Vineyard Theatre  presents WIG OUT! by Tarell Alvin McCraney and directed by Tina Landau.

This fierce and intoxicating story tells of competing "houses" of drag queens and the loves, loyalties and dreams within each that draw their members together and apart. Wig Out! reunites The Vineyard with director Tina Landau, who most recently staged our acclaimed production of J.M. Barrie's Mary Rose.

Of McCraney, the extraordinary new playwright whose play The Brothers Size opened at The Public to some of the best reviews last season, the NY Times raves: "that thrilling sound is one of the main reasons we go to the theatre, the beautiful music of a new voice."

Vineyard Theatre is a non-profit theatre company dedicated to new work, bold programming and the support of artists. One of America's preeminent centers for the creation of new plays and musicals, Vineyard Theatre has consistently premiered provocative, groundbreaking works by both new and established writers. From the upcoming Broadway production of our hit musical  [title of show] to our current Broadway success (and Tony Award-winner)  Avenue Q, to two Pulitzer Prize-winning dramas - Paula Vogel's  How I Learned To Drive and Edward Albee's  Three Tall Women - to such notable projects as Nicky Silver's Pterodactyls, Becky Mode's  Fully Committed, Craig Lucas'  The Dying Gaul, Christopher Shinn's  Where Do We Live, Cornelius Eady's  Brutal Imagination, Gina Gionfriddo's  After Ashley, the Laura Nyro musical  Eli's Comin', and this season's acclaimed productions of Julia Cho's  The Piano Teacher and Ben Katchor and Mark Mulcahy's  The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island — we strive to produce new work that challenges both our audiences and artists. It is our goal to bring a spirit of adventure and risk to the art of making theatre. We're proud to be the recipient of special OBIE, Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel awards for Sustained Excellence.
