Mike Lesser, artistic director, actor, writer, producer, entrepreneur.

Mike created the PGE 10 years ago. He saw the need for writers who didn't know actors and needed them to further their work. Actors need words and it was a perfect coupling, starting in a coffee shop!

The PGE is now the resident theatre company at the Marjorie Dean Theatre on the upper west side of Manhattan. The PGE has many programs and has published 6 volumes of Faces Of America monologue books for actors, heading into it's seventh year this fall. There are programs that support writers no matter what level you are on, and actors to perform the work.

The PlayGround Experiment is a home for theatre artists to explore, test, and develop new work while finding inspiration and support from the community that it creates.

Artist relationships thrive in a safe, inclusive environment, strengthened by diversity and an ability to be ourselves. We must do everything we can to take daily action in creating a space where everyone has the opportunity to do their absolute best, as well as the freedom to make mistakes/missteps. Our hope is that each artist has the time, space and chance to find structure, heart, and truth whether as a writer, actor, director or patron.

The PGE is a home that you come back to when you need to recharge, start something new, or just be among your family.

We are a New York City based company with members all over the world. Thanks to modern technology we now have the ability to connect with our PGE family at most of our events. No matter where you are, you always have a Home with us at The PGE.
