THE RED COAT by John Patrick Shanley
A teenage boy in the Bronx lies in wait outside a party for a girl he hardly knows. His mission, which he accomplishes with touching, if halting, effectiveness, is to tell her that he loves her.
Today, we are back with a Playing on Air favorite! John Patrick Shanley’s “The Red Coat”
It’s been an exciting ‘25-’26 Season here at Playing on Air! We’ve got 1 play left in two weeks, “A Headspace Meditation” by Mara Nelson-Greenberg. This season, 4 of our plays are commissions. In December, we premiered “73, SK.” by Else Went, directed by Emma Rosa Went, and “The Corner Cafe” by Charles Mee, directed by Tom Dugdale. Two weeks ago, we premiered the inaugural MC Libby Commission, “Father’s Sin” by Maleek Rae with music by Xander Browne. Directed by POA Alum, Goldie E. Patrick.
This week, we’re back with another rockstar cast, POA Alums, Amy Ryan and Michael Stuhlbarg in John Patrick Shanley’s “The Red Coat”.
