New York City is hosting a wonderful event alongside the World Cup called ALREADY HOME World Cup '26 - the NYC Neighborhood Passport & National Storytelling Initiative. It's great and AMT is a proud passport stamp venue. The core idea is that every team coming to play in the World Cup already has a home in immigrant communities that have been building, connecting, and moving NYC for generations.

There is a small garden outside our beautiful theater and thanks to Pete Dorton's green thumbs and investment in making that garden bloom it has transformed from a patch of earth (dirt) with a lovely tree to an actual garden.

I am perpetually impressed by the caliber of work that is featured in our New Work Development Reading nights or festivals. The Past. Present. Future. Reading night on March 31, 2026 was no exception, there were 3 new plays featured and they were fantastic. Ocean Harris, our Interim New Work Development Director, curated a moving, stimulating and thought provoking night of new works - WELL DONE Ocean and THANK YOU for working so hard to create this wonderful night.

On March 1st 8 talented and brave teenagers got onto the AMT Theater stage and blew us all away with their thought provoking and intelligent show, 2040 - A Play With Music. This beautiful play was crafted by these students under the masterful guidance of Mary Lauren who facilitated a 5 week theater workshop called Stand Up, Reach Out!

AMT has been especially privileged this year with the sheer number of people who have volunteered to help us. It seems hollow, but it is deeply sincere when I say that we cannot thank you enough for the time that you have given to help us move forward with our mission.

Three of the AMT Team, Kelli Maguire, Toby Sportiello and myself, Zoë Reeve, spent a magical weekend in Texas to support the production of National Pastime presented by McKinney Repertory Theatre.
