where theater
COMES TO LIFE
We are a birthplace for new literate, intimate musicals, and a place where underappreciated musical gems from the past are rediscovered.
The York Theatre Company occupies a unique spot in New York’s theatrical landscape. Now in its 53rd year, The York is the only theater in the city, and one of the few in the world, whose two-fold mission is to produce new musical works and rediscover musical gems from the past.
The York’s intimate, imaginative producing style has become its trademark. Its productions have won critical acclaim, a host of honors and awards, and a loyal audience. Just as important, The York provides a nurturing, constructive environment for new artists to hone their craft, and for some of the masters of the musical theater’s Golden Age to take fresh looks at their classic works.
