“The idea of The Playroom has grown out of my desire to create a small and financially manageable space in the heart of the theater district,” commented Krebs. “I want this to be a place where industry professionals can pop over for a reading, a backer's audition or a small production of a work in progress. In addition, many colleges and conservatories are anxious to showcase their graduates in a centralized and intimate setting; The Playroom will be perfectly set up for that purpose.”
Krebs has been a theatrical producer for many years, in both the commercial and the not-for-profit theater worlds. He was the founder of the regional George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he also served at Rutgers University as a professor of theater for 34 years. He is current professor of Fine and Performing Arts at City University's Baruch College.
On Broadway, Krebs was the producer of ELECTRA, IT AIN'T NOTHING BUT THE BLUES and BILL MAHER: Victory Begins at Home and THE DINNER PARTY. Off Broadway, he was the founder and director of the Douglas Fairbanks and John Houseman Theaters which were staples of the off-Broadway world for more than 20 years.
