Stage Door
Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
St. Louis, the Depression. Edward Schiller counts shoes for a living at the Continental Shoe Company and writes poems on the side, the kind of tender stuff his world has zero patience for. Then somebody finds the poems, and they stop being private and start being evidence.
Flight is Kari Margolis's solo show based on Tennessee Williams's semi-autobiographical short story "Episodes in the Life of a Clerk." It opens with a commotion on Washington Avenue, where someone has just fallen from the shoe company's roof, and then works backwards through what got us there. Expect original music, multimedia, and a mix of laughs and heartbreak that feels very Williams before he was Williams.
Jarod Hanson plays the whole thing solo for MB Adaptors in Theater C, the smallest and closest room at 59E59 Theaters.
Performances run March 25 to April 24, 2027. Required viewing for anyone who has ever hidden a notebook in a desk drawer at work.
