Tony Winners David Lindsay-Abaire And Kenny Leon Bring Raucous New Play To Broadway

From Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Lindsay-Abaire (Kimberly Akimbo) and Tony-winning director Kenny Leon comes the world premiere of this wild new play, opening on Broadway in Spring 2026. Following the cut-throat antics of a Neighborhood Association and the uproar caused by a newcomer, The Balusters will be playing at the Samuel J Friedman Theatre as part of Manhattan Theatre Club's 2025/26 Season.

What It's About

Meet the Vernon Point Neighborhood Association. They really care about their town... possibly too much. The smallest issues cause massive spats. But these fights will seem like nothing when a new member suggests the addition of a stop sign. Things are about to go nuclear. This wicked examination of a small town community is a riotous spiral into chaos, penned by the expert hand of Lindsay-Abaire.
