What was your first experience
with Signature?

My very first Signature encounter was as a
freshman at NYU when I attended Lanford
Wilson’s Burn This. I was so taken with what
I saw that the following year I had the NYU
registrar provide me with proof of matriculation and handed over $45 of my own money
for a student subscription (this was pre-Signature Ticket
Initiative!) to the Bill Irwin season. It was the first subscription
of any kind I had ever purchased, and the act – both of buying
the subscription and subsequently attending each play by myself—felt grown-up. I’ve been a Signature devotee ever since.

My experience with Signature began when
I was an intern. I had just moved to NYC
and I was fairly new to the whole theatre
community. The first time I walked into the
Center, though it was in its final phase of
construction at the time, I couldn’t believe
how huge it was. Finally, after seeing the first show and the
amount of people that attended, I really came to appreciate
its purpose. It’s been such an inspiration for me to see hundreds of talented artists and audience members gathered
in one spectacular space.

My first day at Signature was a balmy
Saturday afternoon in November. I came
with a friend of mine who was lucky
enough to have some spare tickets his
mother couldn’t use for The Piano Lesson.
Before the show started, I looked down at the ticket and
saw it was $25. Aghast, I turned to my friend and asked
if his mom knew someone in the cast or someone who
worked at Signature, and he said “No, I think that’s just their
thing.” That show turned out to be one of the best pieces
of theatre I’ve ever seen. Having the opportunity to be a
part of a theatre company that is as accessible and
amazing as this one is a dream come true.
