59E59 Theaters is a New York City-based performing arts venue that operates three performance spaces and presents live theater for most of the year. It supports nonprofit theater companies premiering work in New York City by offering subsidized rental rates along with production, ticketing, front-of-house, marketing, and press support. Established in 2004 by the Elysabeth Kleinhans Theatrical Foundation, the organization is led by Artistic Director Val Day and Managing Director Brian Beirne. The organization positions itself as an Off Broadway destination, running a year-round, curated program that brings national and international work to audiences in the city. Recent activity includes announcing the lineup for the 2025 Brits Off Broadway festival, underscoring ongoing collaborations with independent producers. As a relatively small nonprofit within performing arts, 59E59 Theaters provides subsidized space and comprehensive support to help theater companies develop and premiere work in New York City.
