Mission Statement

The mission of The York Theatre Company is fourfold: Be a birthplace for new literate, intimate musicals, and a place where underappreciated musical gems from the past are rediscovered; Provide support for the creators of new musical theatre and be a showcase for new musical theatre talent of all kinds; Provide students with opportunities for hands-on theatre education; and Serve the community by presenting free or low-cost musical theatre performances to under-served audiences.

About This Cause

The York Theatre Company occupies a unique spot in New York’s theatrical landscape. Now in its 50th year, The York is the only theater in the city, and one of the few in the world, whose two-fold mission is to produce new musical works and rediscover musical gems from the past. The York’s intimate, imaginative producing style has become its trademark. Its productions have won critical acclaim, a host of honors and awards, and a loyal audience. Just as important, The York provides a nurturing, constructive environment for new artists to hone their craft, and for some of the masters of the musical theater’s Golden Age to take fresh looks at their classic works. A special Drama Desk Award was presented to the company for its “vital contributions to theater by developing and producing new musicals.”
