The Giver with Meryl Streep. The new musical Scotland, PA, which the New York Times called “a kick-ass party.” The City Lights world premiere Spacebar: A Broadway Play by Kyle Sugarman. These are just a few of the highlights on writer Michael Mitnick’s resume.

A playwright and songwriter, Michael also writes for film and television. His songs have been sung on Broadway, at Lincoln Center and on HBO, and his words have been spoken by Julianne Moore, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ben Feldman and Taylor Iman Jones. Michael’s work also includes co-writing the Off-Broadway musical Fly By Night and writing the comedy Sex Lives of Our Parents and the 2017 film The Current War. He lives in Brooklyn.

He’s also a City Lights associate playwright and a longtime friend of our company, where we proudly premiered Spacebar in 2013 and the romantic comedy The Siegel in 2018.

We were thrilled to share a special evening with Michael on The Next Stage, in conversation with City Lights actor and sound designer George Psarras.
