Roundabout Theatre Company

The Roundabout Theatre Company is the largest non-profit theatre company based in New York City. The Company owns Studio 54 and the American Airlines Theatre, both Broadway theatres, and the Off-Broadway Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Arts.

A subsidiary of the Roundabout, the Roundabout Underground, is dedicated to the works of emerging playwrights (most recently Steven Karam's "Speech and Debate"). Its performances are held in the Black Box Theatre, located in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center For Arts.

The Roundabout was founded in 1965 by Gene Feist and Elizabeth Owens. [ [http://www.roundabouttheatre.org/history1.htm Roundabout Theatre Company - A Short History of Roundabout ] ] The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, which includes the Laura Pels Theatre, is located on West 46th Street in Manhattan. The Center was developed, with financial support from the Steinbergs, "to support its artistic mission of fostering emerging talent in playwriting, performance, and stagecraft."
