Second Stage Theater

Second Stage Theater, **the Home of Living American Playwrights**, is a Tony Award-winning theatre dedicated to breathing new life into contemporary American plays and providing emerging writers with Off-Broadway debuts. Founded in **1979** to produce "second stagings" of contemporary plays, the theater has since broadened its mission to include the development and production of new plays, as well as the implementation of programs that support young theatre artists. This commitment has materialized in various forms, from presenting new productions to offering long-term residencies for playwrights, directors, composers, and lyricists. Despite operating in the **Music** industry, Second Stage Theater's impact on the American theatrical landscape has been significant. While information about its last investment and investors is not available, the theater continues to serve as a **United States**-based hub for fostering new talent and producing groundbreaking work by some of the country's most esteemed playwrights.
