Signature Theatre Company

Signature Theatre Company, located at 480 West 42nd Street, New York City, was founded in 1991 by James Houghton. It is known for its unique commitment to celebrating the work of a single playwright each season, providing an in-depth exploration of their career. The company operates out of the Pershing Square Signature Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed by Frank Gehry, featuring three performance spaces: The Irene Diamond Stage, The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, and The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre. Signature Theatre is celebrated for its dedication to producing innovative and high-quality theater, fostering a vibrant artistic community, and making theater accessible to a diverse audience through its affordable ticket initiatives.
