“The term “experimental” tends to signal an ambition to flaunt difficulty and occlude meaning, but 600 Highwaymen’s experiments with theatrical form are distinctly generous. That is the case with “A Thousand Ways,” which takes a simple premise and turns it into magic.”

600 HIGHWAYMEN
“A remarkable achievement – sleek, engrossing…Director Kaneza Schaal stages the piece with a keenly alert sense of how to fit all the jigsaw pieces together…a calm, almost effortless virtuosity…Dessner has crafted a score of striking versatility and expressive power…sends the audience out of the hall in a jumble of emotion and faith.”

“A daring and unique musical spectacle…Dessner’s well-crafted music deftly unites text and image. Triptych is Dessner’s most arresting and provocative work to date; the musical lines reveal the symbolic subtleties that the show explores.”

“The producer-artist relationship in all its variations is the essential driver of new work, and new work is the lifeblood of our creative systems. CIPA was born to support all sectors of the industry in understanding how to nurture that essential, oft-hidden relationship, and we are deeply grateful for the Mellon Foundation and our strategic partners at Lower Manhattan Cultural Council for their pioneering recognition of it. They have provided vital support, in a time of crisis, toward a brighter future for the arts,”
