VIDEO: Go Behind the Scenes with James Morgan's Set Designs at York Theatre Company

The York Theatre Company is hosting a special exhibit highlighting the extraordinary set designs of James Morgan, York Producing Artistic Director. The exhibit has been on display since mid-June and will continue throughout the summer. Click below to go behind the scenes!

The York Theatre Company is the only theatre in New York City - and one of very few in the world - dedicated to developing and fully producing new musicals and preserving neglected, notable shows from the past. For over four decades, York's intimate, imaginative style of producing both original and classic musicals has resulted in critical acclaim and recognition from artists and audiences alike. Under the guidance of Producing Artistic Director James Morgan since 1997, the York has focused on new musicals in its Mainstage Series - most of them world, American, or New York premieres - by some of the field's most esteemed creators, and has also helped launch the careers of many talented new writers. Over 35 cast recordings from York Theatre Company productions are now available on CD, including its acclaimed revival of Closer Than Ever (2013 Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Revival); commercial transfers of such York premieres as The Musical of Musicals (The Musical!), Souvenir (Tony Award Nomination for actress Judy Kaye), and Jolson & Company, and revivals of Pacific Overtures and Sweeney Todd (four Tony Nominations including Best Revival) have all showcased the importance of the York and its programs. Recent New York Premieres have included Marry Harry, A Taste of Things to Come, Rothschild &Sons, and Cagney, which transferred Off-Broadway to the Westside Theatre with the original Yorkcast and ran for over 500 performances.
