Stage Direction: Unpacking the Many Works of David Cromer
by Charles Kirsch - Nov 6, 2025
Not many directors could helm a blockbuster stage adaptation of a hit film starring George Clooney, the Broadway transfer of a dark and quirky musical about a Dead Outlaw, and an off-Broadway meditation on the root and consequences of AI all in the span of four months. If anyone could, however, it would certainly be David Cromer, who achieved that impressive feat last spring. Rocketed to fame by his revelatory 2009 production of Our Town, he has become one of New York’s most in-demand directors, noted for his versatility, sensitivity, and ability to create theatrical magic.
