In 1999, Second Stage Theatre opened its state-of-the-art, 296-seat theatre,
designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. In 2002, Second Stage
launched "Second Stage Theatre Uptown" series to showcase the work of up and
coming artists at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre. The Theatre supports artists
through several programs that include residencies, fellowships and
commissions, and engages students and community members through education
and outreach programs.
Second Stage Theatre recently announced that it has acquired the right to
purchase the historic Helen Hayes Theatre, located at 240 W. 44th Street.
With this new home, Second Stage will be the only theater company on
Broadway dedicated exclusively to the development and presentation of
contemporary American theatrical productions. Second Stage will also become
one of only four non-profit theater companies that own and operate theaters
on Broadway. The company will continue to lease and operate their original
theaters on the city's Upper West Side and in Midtown Manhattan.
For subscription or ticket information, please call the
Second Stage Box Office at 212-246-4422 or visit the company's website,
