In 2004, Primary Stages moved from its 99-seat home of 17 years on West 45th Street to the 199-seat theater at 59E59 Theaters. This new theater has increased Primary Stages profile in New York City while boosting our reputation as one of the premiere theaters for the development of new work. This move has marked a period of unprecedented growth for the company and has created tremendous opportunities for expanding our audience and funding bases, establishing a new cultural venue on the Upper East Side, and securing our future in the New York theatrical landscape.
The Dorothy Strelsin New American Writers Group Now in its 13th year, this program brings together a select group of writers each season that meet weekly to share and receive constructive feedback on the development of their new work.
