“Celebrating Andrew Lippa’s contribution to the theatre and the mark he’s made on off-Broadway is the perfect way to enter Abingdon’s 27th season,” says Chad Austin, Abingdon Theatre Company’s Artistic Director. “Andrew is not only an inspiration to me as an artist but leads the pack of men who have set great examples of integrity within our community.”

Abingdon Theatre Company is dedicated to developing and producing brave, new American work by emerging and established artists. The company provides a safe home where playwrights, directors and actors can collaborate within a supportive and nurturing environment. We search for stories about the human experience that reflect our social, political, historical and cultural diversity. We are acutely aware of the theatre’s power to unite disparate population groups through stories about common human interests, and we strive to shed light on a variety of perspectives.
