Our mission is to nurture living playwrights and artists audaciously expressing contemporary identity.
In this venture, we intend to revive NoHo as a cauldron of art and ideas.
Gene Frankel’s 1961 production of Jean Genet’s The Blacks, A Clown Story exemplified the vitality and influence a small theater can have. This grassroots phenomenon altered the course of Off- & Off-Off Broadway theatre and shaped their destinies, winning one of the first Obie Awards for play writing and eventually becoming the longest running Off-Broadway show in history, launching the careers of James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, Louis Gossett JR., and a number of other enduring influential American actors in the process. This great American theatrical legacy, The Blacks, was born, in a small 99-seat theater.
