Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Tony Award winner David Lindsay-Abaire, whose acclaimed works include Rabbit Hole, Kimberly Akimbo, Good People, and Shrek the Musical, joins us to discuss his latest play, The Balusters. Recently nominated for five 2026 Tony Awards, including Best Play, The Balusters is a sharp and hilarious satire set within a tightly knit neighborhood association where a seemingly simple proposal—a new stop sign—sparks an all-out community battle. Through wit and escalating conflict, the play explores change, belonging, and what happens when communities evolve faster than the people who live in them. Learn more about your ad choices.
