The 2000’s were the “coming of age” decade for the Schoolhouse Theater (Alvin Klein, The New York Times). Helmed throughout the decade by Lee Pope and Pamela Moller Kareman, our work continued to gain notoriety and prominence. We launched our first Off-Broadway transfer (Ingmar Bergman’s Nora) to great success in 2006, and by the decade’s end we had added two more acclaimed Off-Broadway transfers (Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and S.N Behrman’s Biography). We also produced six world premieres (including a new musical revue by Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire), and played host to leading lights of the industry such as Joyce Carol Oates, Lewis Black, Michael Weller, Reed Birney, Elaine Bromka, Tracy Shayne, Todd Susman, and Tina Howe.
