About

Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty​

 

LYNN AHRENS + STEPHEN FLAHERTY are considered the foremost theatrical writing team of their generation. They won Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for the Broadway hit RAGTIME, and were nominated for two Academy Awards and two Golden Globes for Twentieth Century Fox’s animated feature film ANASTASIA.

​

They also adapted ANASTASIA for the Broadway stage. Their musical ONCE ON THIS ISLAND won London’s Olivier Award and Broadway's 2018 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. Other theatre credits include SEUSSICAL (one of the most produced shows in America); ROCKY; MY FAVORITE YEAR; CHITA RIVERA-THE DANCER'S LIFE; DESSA ROSE; A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE; THE GLORIOUS ONES, LUCKY STIFF and two upcoming shows, KNOXVILLE and LITTLE DANCER.

​

They serve on Council for the Dramatists Guild of America and co-founded the DGF Fellows Program for Emerging Writers. They are four-time Grammy nominees, recipients of the Oscar Hammerstein Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2015 Ahrens and Flaherty were inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame.

Land Acknowledgement

 

Our office is on the original homeland of the Munsee Lenape tribal nation. Theatre Now acknowledges the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we and our artists live and work.

 

As an organization and as artists, we often gather in virtual space. Take a moment to consider the legacies of colonization embedded within the technologies, structures, and ways of thinking we use every day. We are using equipment and high-speed internet not available to all communities. Even the technologies that are central to much of the art we make leave significant carbon footprints, contributing to changing climates that disproportionately affect indigenous peoples worldwide. Theatre Now invites you to join us in acknowledging all this as well as our shared responsibility: to make good of this time, and for each of us to consider our roles in reconciliation, decolonization, antiracism, and allyship.
