PhotoFor its 55th season, La MaMa, the East Village hub of avant-garde performance, has assembled a cosmopolitan smorgasbord of more than 70 productions of plays, puppet shows and dance. Other festivals for the coming season include the La MaMa Puppet Series (Sept. 24 through Nov. 6), with an international lineup that includes the Obie Award winner Randolph Curtis Rand’s “Phantasmagoria: or, Let Us Seek Death,” based on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” La MaMa Moves!, the theater’s annual dance festival, will return in spring 2017. As it happens, Mr. Horovitz’s next project, “Man in Snow,” will be presented at La MaMa Nov. 10 through 27, after its premiere at the Gloucester Stage Company in Massachusetts in September. In the staging directed by Ms. Parsons, the cast will be members of the Actors Studio, which celebrates its 70th anniversary next year. The series “AdA: Author Directing Author” returns in January, once again featuring the playwrights Neil LaBute and Marco Calvani.
