Writers’ Theatre was founded in 1992 to explore productions in which the word on the page and the artists that bring the word to life hold primary importance.
Central to this mission are three important core values: valuing text, both classic and contemporary, as the fundamental source of inspiration; creating deliberately intimate performances where audiences are face to face with powerful stories. With a reputation for consistent artistic excellence, innovative educational programming and strong ties to the community, Writers’ Theatre has built an award-winning repertoire.
Acclaimed by The Wall Street Journal as one of the top half-dozen regional theatres in USA , Writers’ has offered more than 81 productions, including 14 world premieres, garnered numerous awards and accolades, including 76 Joseph Jefferson Award nominations and 18 Awards, as well as multiple citations of Artistic Director Michael Halberstam for excellence and contributions to the field, including The 2010 Zelda Fichandler Award.
In 2007, Writers’ debuted nationally with a New York premiere of Crime and Punishment, followed in 2011 by a Lincoln Center production of A Minister’s Wife—the musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, conceived and directed by Halberstam.
