ABOUT THIS THEATRE
Description
The Repertory Company of Lincoln Center opened the new venue and remained there until 1973. After, it was used sporadically, rented by commercial ventures or by theatre companies like the Public Theater and Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Since July 1985, it has been operated by Lincoln Center Theater, a not-for-profit company that also runs an off-Broadway venue in the building. In 1996, it underwent a renovation to improve acoustics, climate control, building infrastructure, and handicap access.
