Founded in 2021

Play Records, NYC

is a platform to provoke discussion about music making in theater, and create community for music and sound artists in the theater. It is a project of Archie & Fox Records.

With features and think pieces, this space explores the art of creating music for plays, with a specific focus on the theater outside of traditional American Musical Theater, sometimes weirdly dubbed “Straight Theater.” Seriously? Still?

This space will be philosophical, polemical, and pragmatic. Enjoy!
