About MCC Theater
-
“There’s no better life than a life in theater in New York City.”
—Bob LuPone (1946-2022), Founding Artistic Director
Our mission is to provoke conversations that have never happened and otherwise never would.
MCC THEATER was founded in 1986 as MANHATTAN CLASS COMPANY by a collective of young actors, writers, and directors determined to steer their own artistic development—and shake things up! That initial group included Artistic Directors BERNIE TELSEY, BOB LUPONE and WILL CANTLER, since joined by Executive Director BLAKE WEST. Our increasingly expansive work continues today, in fond memory of BOB.
WE PRODUCE EXCITING THEATER. We produce seasons of BOLD new plays and musicals by exceptional ARTISTS.
WE DEVELOP NEW WORK. We develop NEW WORK by emerging and established artists through a rigorous process that encourages CREATIVE RISK-TAKING.
WE HONOR YOUNG VOICES. Each year our education programs use the power of theater to ROUSE the imaginations of over 1200 high school STUDENTS across ALL FIVE BOROUGHS.
WE GET PEOPLE TALKING. COLLABORATION and COMMUNITY are at the core of everything we do.
