WELCOME BACK!
We are excited to return to in-person programming this year with a six-show Winter Season and the launch of the VOLT Festival featuring a triptych of New York premieres by Karen Hartman.
During the pandemic, we remained extremely productive, offering 20 streaming events that received more than 50,000 views from across 44 states and 17 countries, including Chicken & Biscuits, which went to Broadway! We also reimagined what our foundation could offer to theater companies and devised a Covid Relief Grant program awarding $25,000 each to five deserving companies. One grantee, Noor Theatre, will be sharing their work with audiences for the first time, producing First Down by SEVAN as part of a new, highly-subsidized Makers Series Program in February.

2022 will mark Primary Stages’ physical return to 59E59 Theaters as our Resident Theater Company with the world premiere of New Golden Age by Karen Hartman. This work joins Hartman’s The Lucky Star and Goldie, Max & Milk running this Spring as part of the inaugural VOLT Festival. We are also honored to announce that the esteemed LAByrinth Theater Company will make 59E59 Theaters its new artistic home beginning with a developmental production of Victor Almanzar’s new solo show, Through The Fire, in January.
We were also able to keep previous commitments with companies whose projects were originally slated for 2020 including The Civilians, whose musical, Whisper House, was shuttered the day before its first performance, and Happenstance’s physical comedy, Barococo. Geva Theatre Center’s Heartland and Two Headed Rep’s double bill, The Collision and The Martyrdom, complete the season!
In compliance with state and CDC guidelines, 59E59 Theaters has implemented a Covid Safety Policy, available on our website, and has made physical modifications to our spaces to make your visit more comfortable. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with this prior to your visit.
We look forward to welcoming you to the theater soon!
