THROUGHOUT OUR 2019/20 SEASON AND FOR THE DURATION OF THE PANDEMIC, SIGNATURE WILL UPHOLD OUR MISSION TO CELEBRATE PLAYWRIGHTS AND GIVE THEM AN ARTISTIC HOME. ALL SIGSPACE PROGRAMMING WAS FREE, AND PARTICIPATING ARTISTS WERE COMPENSATED. THIS PROGRAMMING INCLUDED INTERVIEWS WITH OUR RESIDENT PLAYWRIGHTS, CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THEATRE ARTISTS, PLAY READINGS, AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES HOSTED BY OUR RESIDENT PLAYWRIGHTS. THROUGH OUR SIGSPACE INITIATIVE, SIGNATURE PROVIDED ROBUST VIRTUAL ARTISTIC PROGRAMMING DURING THE PANDEMIC.
DURING SIGNATURE'S 2019/20 SEASON, TICKETS TO THE FIRST FIVE WEEKS OF EACH SEASON PRODUCTION WERE SUBSIDIZED TO $35 THROUGH THE TICKET INITIATIVE. A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO CULTURAL PARTICIPATION IS COST, AND THE TICKET INITIATIVE SEEKS TO ELIMINATE THIS OBSTACLE. DURING OUR 2019/20 SEASON, SIGNATURE CONTINUED TO LEAD THE FIELD IN ARTS ACCESSIBILITY BY MAKING OUR PROGRAMMING AFFORDABLE TO ALL THROUGH THE SIGNATURE TICKET INITIATIVE: A GENERATION OF ACCESS. IN EARLY 2020 SIGNATURE PRODUCED THE NEW YORK PREMIERE OF LAUREN YEE'S CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND AND THE WORLD PREMIERE OF KATORI HALL'S THE HOT WING KING, BOTH OF WHICH HAD TO END THEIR RUNS EARLY BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. SIGNATURE REVIVED HORTON FOOTE'S THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA AS PART OF OUR LEGACY RESIDENCY PROGRAM. MACARTHUR FELLOW ANNA DEAVERE SMITH BEGAN HER RESIDENCY 1 WITH A FALL 2019 REVIVAL OF HER SEMINAL VERBATIM THEATRE WORK FIRES IN THE MIRROR, AND SIGNATURE WILL REVIVE A REVISED VERSION OF HER PLAY TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992 IN A FUTURE SEASON. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC FORCED SIGNATURE TO POSTPONE PRODUCTIONS OF PLAYS BY ANNA DEAVERE SMITH AND DOMINIQUE MORISSEAU TO A FUTURE SEASON. THE WORK ON OUR STAGES ADDRESSED ISSUES AND THEMES OF POLICE BRUTALITY AND RACISM, CLASS, GENERATIONAL TRAUMA, FOUND FAMILY, QUEERNESS, AND LOVE. (More) SIGNATURE THEATRE'S 2019/20 SEASON FEATURED FOUR PLAYS BY A DIVERSE AND DYNAMIC GROUP OF FOUR CELEBRATED WRITERS: ANNA DEAVERE SMITH, THE LATE HORTON FOOTE, LAUREN YEE, AND KATORI HALL.
