Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone, longtime friends, had no intention of returning to Broadway until a script about two women sharing a house caught their eye. The play, called “The Roommate,” was written by Jen Silverman (2011 Theatre MFA), and had a 2017 run, with a different cast, at the Williamstown Theater Festival, where the New York Times critic Jesse Green called it “a kind of chemistry experiment. Can two women of utterly different temperaments and backgrounds help each other? Can they help each other too much?”

Iowa Playwriting MFA alum David Adjmi's new play 'Stereophonic' has been nominated for THIRTEEN Tony Awards including Best New Play. “Stereophonic” is now the most-nominated play in Tony Awards history.
