Intro + Accolades
Working with generative artists at the height of their powers.
For two decades, the work commissioned, developed and produced by Mandy Greenfield has consistently garnered every major theatrical honor including Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Lucille Lortel Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Obie Awards, and the Kleban Prize in Musical Theatre.
She served as artistic director of Williamstown Theatre Festival from 2015 through 2021. The work she helmed in that era continues to fill Broadway theaters. Currently, Jen Silverman’s THE ROOMMATE which she developed and produced, is running on Broadway. Last season, she was represented by the Tony Award winning world premiere of Jocelyn Bioh’s JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRADING, directed by Whitney White and the original musical LEMPICKA, also nominated for Tony Awards across three categories. Other credits from her festival tenure include Martyna Majok’s THE COST OF LIVING (Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2018, five Tony Awards nominations including one for Best Play in 2022), Bess Wohl’s GRAND HORIZONS (2021 Best Play Tony Award nomination), Adam Rapp’s THE SOUND INSIDE (2021 Best Play Tony Award nomination) for which Mary-Louise Parker won a Best Actress Tony Award. To memorialize her artistic directorship of the Festival, Methuen Drama/Bloomsbury published an anthology of world premiere plays Greenfield developed and produced entitled THE HEIGHT OF SUMMER including, among several others, the 2022 Pulitzer Finalist SELLING KABUL by Sylvia Khoury.
In response to the global health pandemic of 2020, Ms. Greenfield forged a groundbreaking collaboration with Audible, the world’s largest producer and provider of spoken-word entertainment, to create a critically acclaimed season of audio projects. Prior to her artistic directorship of the Festival, Greenfield served as Artistic Producer of Manhattan Theatre Club, during which period she produced more than seventy-five world and American premiere plays and musicals both on and off-Broadway including John Patrick Shanley’s DOUBT (Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award), Lynn Nottage’s RUINED (Pulitzer Prize) and David Lindsay Abaire’s RABBIT HOLE (Pulitzer Prize) among many others.
