New York City theater manager Aaron Simms has an impressive list of credits on his resume. He’s helped raise the curtain on scores of successful Broadway and Off-Broadway productions over the past 12 years. As anyone in theater can tell you, that’s a lot of long days and nights of hard work, managing ever-shifting schedules and promotions, paying the bills, keeping hordes of actors and directors and crew from strangling each other and creatively solving a million unexpected glitches on the fly.
When he does get to finally go home for the night, Aaron takes the subway to Manhattan’s northernmost neighborhood, Inwood, peacefully hidden away from the hubbub of Times Square and the Village. That is where Aaron eventually undertook his biggest production of all, Inwood Art Works, an organization that promotes the works of the many creatives who live in his own back yard.
