ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY was founded in 1965 and has grown from a small 150-seat theatre in a converted supermarket basement to become one of America’s most significant producers of theatre. This not-for-profit company, with more than 44,000 season subscribers, is committed to producing definitive productions of classic plays and musicals alongside new plays by today’s writers, ensuring that audiences and artists alike have access to high-quality, professional stagings of important works of world literature. With three distinctive homes — the American Airlines Theatre, Studio 54 and the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre/Laura Pels Theatre/Black Box Theatre — Roundabout has the unique opportunity to showcase these works in a venue perfectly suited to enhance the production. Since moving to Broadway in 1991, Roundabout productions have received 150 Tony® nominations, 135 Drama Desk nominations and 154 Outer Critics Circle nominations. Production highlights include Anna Christie (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival); She Loves Me (Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Olivier Awards for Best Revival of a Musical); Nine (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Musical); Assassins (Tony® and Drama Desk Awards for Best Revival of a Musical); Intimate Apparel (Outer Critics Circle and AUDELCO Awards for Best Off-Broadway Play); Twelve Angry Men, currently in its second year of a critically acclaimed national tour (Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Revival of a Play); The Pajama Game (Tony® Award for Best Revival of a Musical); and Cabaret (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Musical), one of the longest-running musical revivals in Broadway history. Since 1995, when Roundabout expanded its repertoire to include premieres of new plays, the company has produced works by such talented writers as Brian Friel, Paula Vogel, Richard Greenberg, Lynn Nottage, Beth Henley, Harold Pinter and Jon Robin Baitz. The Man Who Came to Dinner, the first production at the American Airlines Theatre on 42nd Street in 2000, and the star-studded production of The Women in June 2002 have been seen on channel Thirteen/WNET and other PBS stations nationally. Beyond the work on stage, Roundabout is recognized as a national leader in audience development and offers a comprehensive program of initiatives including the Social Series, the Early Curtain Series, the Wine Series, the Gay and Lesbian Series, HIPTIX (targeting young professionals) and related humanities events and publications. Most recently, Roundabout launched ACCESS ROUNDABOUT, a program which offers more than 22,000 dramatically discounted tickets each season. In addition, through arts education programs, Roundabout reaches more than 7,000 New York City public high school students and their teachers each year. With a focus on in-depth programming, these activities range from partnerships with two New Century high schools (a NYC Department of Education initiative) and professional development for teachers to in-school year-long residencies and student matinees at its Broadway and Off-Broadway theatres. Through national tours, live broadcasts, education and outreach programs and its work on three stages, Roundabout touches the lives of millions of theatregoers, students and artists across the country.
