Blue Light Theater Company

Actor/ Artistic-Director Greg Naughton (also a singer-songwriter with The Sweet Remains), and Darice O'Mara, Assistant to Paul Newman, founded Blue Light in 1995 with the stated mission of producing challenging, primarily larger-cast plays that would bring up-and-coming actors together with veteran artists in a spirit of apprenticeship.

She and Peter Manning (formerly producer of New York Stage and Film) are credited with the artistic direction and selection of Blue Light’s final season, when Mr. Naughton took a sabbatical.

Other revivals included Eduardo De Filippo's Filumena (adapted by Maria Tucci) and Anton Chekhov's The Seagull (directed by Austin Pendleton).

The troupe transitioned to performing works by contemporary playwrights, such as the Michael Cristofer drama Amazing Grace, as well as the 1999 New York premiere of Philip Ridley's The Pitchfork Disney.

Other productions include Jessica Goldberg's The Hologram Theory, the New York premiere of Daniel Goldfarb's Adam Baum and the Jew Movie, a revival of Philip Barry's Hotel Universe, and Darko Tresnjak's Princess Turandot.
