Second Stage Theater


Second Stage Theater is a theater company founded in 1979 and located in Manhattan, New York City. It produces both new plays and revivals of contemporary American plays by new playwrights and established writers. The company has two off-Broadway theaters, their main stage, the Tony Kiser Theater at 305 West 43rd Street on the corner of Eighth Avenue near the Theater District, and the McGinn/Cazale Theater at 2162 Broadway at 76th Street on the Upper West Side. In April 2015, the company bought the Helen Hayes Theater, a Broadway theater.

Mission

Second Stage Theater produces a range of premieres, musicals, new interpretations of contemporary plays, and unique theatrical experiences from American writers of the 21st century. Through engagement with emerging talent, the commissioning of new work, and the creation of a training base for directors, Second Stage produces shows on Broadway, national tours and regional productions.

History

Second Stage Theater was founded in 1979 to produce “second stagings” of contemporary American plays. They expanded this mission to produce new plays by their developing corps of writers. Over time, their productions have come to include solo performances, avant-garde theatrical events, new musicals, and world and New York premieres by American playwrights. In 1999, Second Stage Theater opened a new 296-seat theater at 43rd Street, designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. The Second Stage Theater Uptown series was inaugurated in 2002 to showcase the work of emerging artists at the McGinn/Cazale Theater at 76th Street.
Second Stage supports both established and emerging artists with commissions and artist residencies focused on playwrights, directors, designers, and actors in the creation of contemporary work. 2ST UPTOWN launches young artists with full productions and developmental support and their Van Lier Fellowship program offers a training base for a future generation of directors. Second Stage is focused on developing not only artists but artistic community and builds future audiences by educating young people about the art of contemporary theater and encourages their participation in the cultural life of New York City.

Helen Hayes Theater

It was announced on April 18, 2015, that the sale of Helen Hayes Theater, a 597-seat Broadway theater located at 240 West 44th Street, to Second Stage had been completed. The sale price was $24.7 million. The first Second Stage production at The Hayes Theater will be Lobby Hero, by Kenneth Lonergan, starring Michael Cera and Chris Evans during the spring of 2018, after renovations and upgrades. Second Stage will become one of only four nonprofit theater companies that own and operate theaters on Broadway. The company will continue to lease and operate its original theaters on the Upper West Side and in Midtown Manhattan.

Uptown Series

"2ST Uptown" was created in 2002 as a program to help develop and provide exposure for the voices of a new generation of theater artists. It has helped launch and advance the careers of several playwrights, including Lesyle Headland, Michael Mitnick, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Adam Bock, Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph, and Dan O'Brien.
Christopher Burney, Curator & Associate Artistic Director of Second Stage Theater, seeks to develop the skills of emerging playwrights, to provide early-career artists with the support of a major artistic institution, and to create new plays for the American Theater. Because of this, Second Stage serves as a gateway for many young American theater artists to step onto the New York scene. Each show has a limited rehearsal period, as well as a streamlined budget. Lead funding for Second Stage Uptown Series is provided by the Time Warner Foundation.
All plays are presented at the McGinn/Cazale Theater.
