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
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins has a Pulitzer on the shelf and a lot of attention pointed at him, and he is spending some of it on a road trip. Grass sends a mother and son through the American South in a story that keeps sliding between memory, fantasy and something closer to a moral argument — and it gets the biggest room in Off-Broadway to do it.
The Wade Thompson Drill Hall at Park Avenue Armory has no columns and no fixed seats; the whole house gets rebuilt from scratch for every production, so nobody knows yet what this one will look like from the inside. Sarah Benson directs. Casting has not been announced, which for an Armory premiere usually means the announcement is worth waiting for.
Performances run February 19 through March 28, 2027, with opening night February 26. The Armory sits at 643 Park Avenue on the Upper East Side, and its shows tend to sell through well before the reviews land, so this is a calendar entry to make early. We will fill in cast, running time and ticket details here as the Armory releases them.

Won a seat to Grass for the price of a deli lunch? Struck out a dozen times trying? Either way, the next New Yorker hitting refresh on the lottery wants to hear about it. Be the first on the board.
