A cornerstone of contemporary American playwriting, Second Stage Theater has championed the work of living writers since its founding in 1979. The company operates the Hayes Theater on Broadway and the Tony Kiser Theater off-Broadway, providing an intimate ecosystem for new plays and musicals to develop and reach audiences. Its commitment to emerging voices has yielded numerous premieres that went on to define seasons on Broadway and beyond. Second Stage remains one of New York's most vital incubators for the art form's future.
