"Gotham Stage Company was formed in 2005 as a not-for-profit theater. Founded by Michael Barra, Peter Smith, Julia Haubner Smith, and Katie Dietz, GSC was created to allow the founders, and their contemporaries, the opportunity to gain and share experiences, hone their crafts, display their wares, and to produce and perform the types of work that they found lacking in the commercial theatre. Gotham Stage Company officially arrived in the Spring of 2006 with its world premiere production of Randall David Cook's Sake with the Haiku Geisha at The Perry Street Theater. Gotham Stage has since received international exposure and has grown to its current 14 members," state press notes.
