Founded in 1965, New York’s not-for-profit Roundabout Theatre Company produces a mix of revivals and world premieres in its five theatres on and off Broadway, winning nine Best Revival Tony Awards and debuting such new playwrights as Stephen Karam, Lindsey Ferrentino, Steven Levenson, Joshua Harmon, Ming Peiffer, and Mansa Ra. Its educational initiatives impact 15,000 students and over 1,000 teachers annually.
MISSION
Roundabout celebrates the power of theatre by spotlighting classics from the past, cultivating new works of the present and educating minds for the future.
OUR WORK
WE PRODUCE familiar and lesser-known plays and musicals with the ability to take artistic risk as only a not-for-profit can.
WE DISCOVER talented playwrights and provide them long-term artistic support to contribute to the future of the theatrical canon.
WE REDUCE the barriers– financial, physical and cultural– that can inhibit theatergoing.
WE COLLABORATE with a diverse team of artists to identify programming for consideration.
WE BUILD transformational education experiences that enhance teacher practice, deepen student learning, and ignite the future of young people through career training and placement.
WE CAPTURE AND ARCHIVE over five decades of production history as an open resource for artists, scholars, and our community.
Conceived over 60 years ago as one of the nation’s first nonprofit theaters, The Public has long operated on the principles that theater is an essential cultural force and that art and culture belong to everyone. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Oskar Eustis and Executive Director Patrick Willingham, The Public’s wide breadth of programming includes an annual season of new work at its landmark home at Astor Place, Free Shakespeare in the Park at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park, the Mobile Unit touring throughout New York City’s five boroughs, Public Works, Public Shakespeare Initiative, and Joe’s Pub. Since premiering HAIR in 1967, The Public continues to create the canon of American Theater and is currently represented on Broadway by the Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Their programs and productions can also be seen regionally across the country and around the world. The Public has received 60 Tony Awards, 190 Obie Awards, 57 Drama Desk Awards, 61 Lortel Awards, 36 Outer Critics Circle Awards, 13 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards, 62 AUDELCO Awards, 6 Antonyo Awards, and 6 Pulitzer Prizes.
