59E59 Theaters (Val Day, Artistic Director; Brian Beirne, Managing Director) has announced that The Elysabeth Kleinhans Theatrical Foundation has gifted an additional $10 million to support 59E59 Theaters and its artistic programs. Effective this summer, the 30+ productions that open annually at 59E59 will be able to use the company’s three performance spaces and equipment without incurring the weekly cost of rent. In celebration of 20 years as New York City’s least conventional and most supportive presenting venue, and in recognition of increased industry-wide economic challenges faced by theater makers, this new model will help sustain the cultural impacts of the daring and adventurous theater companies who call 59E59 Theaters home.
