Thank you, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle for bestowing me with such an honor. That it is named after Gordon Davidson is especially meaningful to me. He set the bar high for all of us and I often ask myself, “What would Gordon do?”

He was a giant to LA Theatre and I am humbled. Congratulations, to Gregg T. Daniel, Rouge Machine, The Latino Theater Company, and Victoria Hoffman for their achievements for which they are being honored.

Yours,
~Gary Grossman

As chair of the Skylight Theatre Company Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that the award-winning Cameron Watson will become Skylight’s new Artistic Director beginning in January 2026.

Gary Grossman’s legacy as founder and long-time Producing Artistic Director has made Skylight what it is today, a foundational Los Angeles theater company dedicated to supporting playwrights with development opportunities and world premiere productions.

Cameron, among an extremely capable pool of candidates, was a standout. His track record, vision for Skylight, and contagious enthusiasm not only excited our Board, but also put us at ease that Skylight’s legacy will be in great hands. I look forward to supporting Cameron in continuing the necessary work of impactful theatre-making.

We can’t wait to see what Skylight has in store under Cameron’s leadership. Please join me in celebrating this momentous occasion for the Company.

It’s hard to believe, but after 40 + remarkable years of visionary leadership, Gary Grossman is stepping away from his leading role at Skylight Theatre Company to dedicate his time commercially producing world premiere projects. His tenure has launched countless careers and helped shape the creative landscape of Los Angeles theatre.

“Gary’s responsible for over 100 world premiere plays in our great city and has fostered and enriched the lives of countless writers, directors, actors, and arts leaders — I’m beyond fortunate to consider myself one of those. His legacy will live on at Skylight in its reputation for producing bold, adventurous works” - Snehal Desai, Center Theatre Group’s Brindell & Milton Gottlieb Artistic Director.

Many of Skylight’s new works under Gary have gone on to be produced at theaters across the country and beyond including Bronco Billy – The Musical which had a successful London run; its live cast album was released October 2025.

We wish Gary all the best as he embarks on new opportunities! We will continue to honor Gary’s vision at Skylight through initiatives like the Legacy Campaign launching in 2026.

SKYLIGHT HAS LOST A CHAMPION

Fr. Gregory M. Goethals, SJ, a close friend and the Board Chair of Skylight Theatre Company for nine years, has passed away. His dedication to Skylight and its mission was unwavering. He was our flag waver and our moral compass. For nearly 20 years he was the President of Loyola High School and was for them what he was for us at Skylight, OUR BEATING HEART. He loved, cared for, and watched over each of his 1300 students and their families, as much as he looked after each and every member of the Skylight staff and board. No one felt like a second child around Fr. Greg and everyone politely jostled to be first in line to receive his embrace followed by “BLESS YOU MY CHILD”. Each embrace and every blessing were genuine. We were and still are all his children and we are so much better because he came into our lives. We have lost more than a giant, we have lost our pilot light which we will have to find a way to re-ignite. Rest in peace, dear Father Greg, sing on, as only you can. Do your best Sondheim diva impression… we will all be listening as we hold you deep in our hearts. 🕊️
