THE PECCADILLO THEATER COMPANY is in its second decade of producing forgotten American classics—“forgotten” in the sense that most of the work we do has seldom, if ever, been revived in New York City, and “classic” in the sense of enduring theatrical value. Beginning with Eugene O’Neill (generally considered the starting point of modern American theater), Peccadillo concentrates on the era of the well-made play, a period of sparkling wit and sophistication in comedy as well as deepening realism in the drama. It encompasses such diverse and, sad to say, little-known American playwrights as Sidney Howard, Philip Barry, William Inge, Dawn Powell, and many, many more. Unfortunately, the economics of commercial theater have consigned some of our best plays to the oblivion of the library shelf. The mission of The Peccadillo Theater Company is to restore these buried gems to their rightful owner—you, the American theatergoer. In 2005, Peccadillo produced Elmer Rice’s Counsellor-at-Law starring John Rubinstein, and Dorothy Parker and Arnaud d’Usseau’s The Ladies of the Corridor. Counsellor-at-Law won an Obie Award for Direction, Lortel Awards for Outstanding Revival and Outstanding Actor and was nominated for three Outer Critics Circle Awards (Outstanding Direction, Revival and Actor). Of The Ladies of the Corridor, the New York Times wrote, “It’s difficult to keep an audience laughing when wisecracks are all that hold you back from the abyss, but under Dan Wackerman’s direction, the Peccadillo’s production never falters.” Peccadillo’s production of the Algonquin Round Table musical, The Talk of the Town, by Ginny Redington and Tom Dawes, played in the Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel for over a year.
