Roundabout Theatre Company

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.
