THE EM SPACE

The production at your local theatre may be well rehearsed and inspiring, but that almost never transpires into the programs. I almost never flip through the entire thing because they’re so boring, even if the subject matter of the show I’m there to see is anything but.

I just wish all theatre programs could look like this one for the Playwrights Horizons. Bold, modern, attention-grabbing and easy-to-read in dim lights.
