Second Stage Theater is a theater company founded in 1979 by Robyn Goodman and Carole Rothman 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 an off-Broadway theater, the Tony Kiser Theater at 305 West 43rd Street on the corner of Eighth Avenue near the Theater District, and formerly had an off-off-Broadway theater, the McGinn–Cazale Theater on the Upper West Side. In April 2015, the company expanded into Broadway theater productions when it bought the Helen Hayes Theater.

History

Robyn Goodman and Carole Rothman founded Second Stage Theater in 1979, to produce "second stagings" of contemporary American plays, later expanding to new works as well. ^[1]

In 1982 they secured a permanent venue with the McGinn–Cazale Theater. In 1999, the company opened a new 296-seat venue, the 43rd Street Theater, designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas; this location was renamed the Tony Kiser Theater in 2011. ^[2] 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. ^[3]

Second Stage finalized its acquisition of the Helen Hayes Theater, a 597-seat Broadway theater at 240 West 44th Street, in April 2015 for $24.7 million. ^[4] The first Second Stage production at the Hayes Theater was Lobby Hero in early 2018, after renovations and upgrades. ^[5] Second Stage is one of four nonprofit theater companies that own and operate theaters on Broadway. ^[6]

In 2023, Second Stage gave up its off-off-Broadway space. ^{[7] [8]} Rothman announced that September that she would resign from her position as Second Stage's artistic director at the end of the 2023–2024 season. ^{[9] [10]} Second Stage decided in February 2024 to give up the Tony Kiser Theater, its off-Broadway space, at the end of 2024 because the rent was too high. ^{[7] [8]} This left the company with only the Hayes Theater, although Second Stage planned to reopen its off-Broadway space elsewhere. ^[8]
