Compiled by B.L. Rice
The following is the second part of a list of Off- and Off-Off-Broadway theatre companies in New York City. The first part ran in our Nov. 12 issue. In addition to address and phone number, each listing also denotes whether the company produces under an Equity Contract or Letter of Agreement, an Equity Showcase or Tiered Showcase, or whether it is a non-Equity company. In some cases, a company may produce certain shows under Equity guidelines and others as non-Equity productions, so both classifications are listed.
Although this list is extensive, it is not all-inclusive. As some theatres fold, new ones crop up each year; we do our best to keep up with the changing scene. If we've left out the name of your company, please notify us in writing so we can include you the next time around. Contact: B.L. Rice, Listings Editor, Back Stage, 1515 Broadway, 14th floor, New York, NY 10036.
