Tim Sanford, former artistic director of Playwrights Horizons, has founded the Tent Theater Company to support older playwrights often neglected by the theater industry. He believes that age is an essential aspect of diversity, filled with life's experiences that enrich storytelling. The company's mission focuses on advocacy for these seasoned artists, correcting the perception that they should step aside for younger talent. By actively engaging in hands-on production efforts, such as sourcing materials like trees for set design, Sanford embodies a commitment to nurturing and respecting the creativity of playwrights in their later careers.
Sanford believes that age is an overlooked aspect of diversity, filled with wisdom and experiences that deserve space in the theatrical community.
His new company, Tent Theater, champions established and older playwrights, providing a platform for voices that the mainstream often neglects.
