MTC Promotes Greenfield; Triggers Upcoming Changes

According to the New York Times, in January, Manhattan Theater Club will promote Mandy Greenfield to artistic director. The position is currently being occupied by 64 year old Lynne Meadow, who has been artistic director since 1972. In a recent interview, Meadow told NY Times that 'Greenfield would take the lead in selecting, developing and mounting work for the club's Off Broadway stage at City Center.'

Greenfield shared, "I am excited to build upon M.T.C.'s rich history of serving our finest living playwrights, programming and producing the kind of strong, adventurous new work, for which we are known."

Founded in 1970, MTC now includes a subscriber base of 20,000 and produces on Broadway in the recently restored Biltmore Theatre on West 47th Street and at the historic New York City Center complex on West 55th Street. Each season is distinguished by the variety of the repertoire. In 2008, MTC's Biltmore Theatre was re-named the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre after the pioneering Broadway publicist.

MTC is committed to bringing theatre to the widest possible audience. Initiatives which enable MTC's work to reach an ever-growing range of theatergoers include moving successful plays originally produced at MTC's New York City Center home to larger Broadway or Off-Broadway venues for an extended run; originating certain productions in larger venues; collaborating with leading regional theatres to bring major new American plays to New York; and bringing student and family audiences to our theatres through the ambitious Education program.
