But this season is special," says Finn. "We are thrilled to be returning to our spaces on 36th Street for HOMECOMING: supporting brand-new, fully produced programming made for the current moment, featuring music, dance, theater, virtual, and international works."

"This slate highlights local, national, and International Artists, all of whom have been at the forefront of innovation and perseverance over the last two years," adds Lloyd. "We're so honored to be putting these artists in conversation in our fully reopened spaces."

The season begins with an in-person remount of the musical Glass Town, written by Miriam Pultro and directed by Daniella Caggiano, on March 10-26.
