New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate. One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years. We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres.

This week s choice is an interview with Vincent Delaney, the playwright behind Las Cruces - one of the most interesting plays we ve seen over the years.
