(Part one of a two-part series.) SOURCES: David Adjmi, author and playwright. Sonia Friedman, theater producer and founder of Sonia Friedman Productions. John Johnson, theater producer and co-founder of Wagner Johnson Productions. Tom Pecinka, actor. Sarah Pidgeon, actor. RESOURCES: Stereophonic, by David Adjmi, Will Butler, and Daniel Aukin (2023). Lot Six: A Memoir, by David Adjmi (2020). "On the Performing Arts: The Anatomy of Their Economic Problems," by W. J. Baumol and W. G. Bowen (The American Economic Review, 1965).
