The Gabriels played an engagement at the Kennedy Center (Washington, DC) in January 2017 and then played at The Perth International Arts Festival (Australia) in February 11–18, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival in February 22–26. The original cast performed.

Sanders (George Gabriel), and Amy Warren (Joyce Gabriel). The first play Hungry opened Off-Broadway at the Public Theatre on February 27, 2016 (previews), and officially on March 4, directed by Nelson.

From 2010 to 2013, Nelson wrote and directed four plays centered around the Apple Family, a fictional household set in Rhinebeck, New York with each play focused on either an election or a significant historical anniversary. The main characters are three adult sisters, Barbara, Marian and Jane — called a "Chekhovian family pod" by the Variety reviewer.

The first play in the series, That Hopey Changey Thing focused on the 2010 midterm elections, and opened on election night, November 2, 2010. The second play, Sweet and Sad (2011) depicts the family on the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

2006

in November 2006, Frank's Home, about two days in the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, premiered in Chicago, Nelson's home town, at the Goodman Theatre (in association with Playwrights Horizons). In an interview in The Brooklyn Rail at the time of its New York debut, Nelson offers advice to young writers: "My advice is always to write, to write what really matters. I ask my students two questions: Why did you write it? And should I watch it? People ask about structure, form, character development, and I’m not even sure what all of that means. Try not to second guess yourself. Form will come if you focus on what you want to say with truth and honesty. Structure is the hand that holds up what you want to say." From 2005-2008, Nelson was the chair of the playwriting department at the Yale School of Drama.
