WHO WE ARE
Manhattan Theatre Club is one of New York’s preeminent not-for-profit cultural institutions and a premier destination for both the most talented artists and discerning audiences to return to time and again. Under the dynamic new leadership of Artistic Director Nicki Hunter and Executive Producer Chris Jennings, we produce seasons of bold, entertaining and thought-provoking new plays and musicals at our Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on Broadway and on our two off-Broadway stages at New York City Center.
For over five decades, MTC was led by the artistic vision of Lynne Meadow and by the executive producing of her partner, Barry Grove. In that time, the company was acclaimed for identifying, fostering and supporting extraordinary artists at all stages of their careers; recognized for the consistent quality, range and originality of our over 600 premieres; and lauded for mounting nearly 20% of all of the new plays on Broadway since we opened the Friedman in 2003. Much of this work has gone on to be presented around the country and the world, appearing frequently on annual “most-produced” lists and amounting to a significant contribution to the American theatrical canon.
To date, MTC productions have earned 31 Tony Awards, 55 Drama Desk Awards, 49 Obie Awards and seven Pulitzer Prizes for Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living, Lynn Nottage’s Ruined, David Lindsay-Abaire’s Rabbit Hole, John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt, David Auburn’s Proof, August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson and Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart, amongst many other honors.
