CHAIN THEATRE is always seeking to reflect and react to the world around us. Culturally. Politically. Socially. We enlighten and entertain through stories that reflect on the cyclical nature of history and complexity of the human spirit. Audiences can find investment in the work at the Chain because the work is about them, no matter what it might be. It’s a place where artists and audiences can expand their perspective onstage and onscreen. 

In addition to our Mainstage programming, the Chain supports thousands of emerging and established artists to showcase their work in a professional setting. Works seen nowhere else. Your donation doesn’t just support one company but an entire community of artists finding opportunities in our spaces.

Chain produced the NYC Premiere of ​Six Corners​ by Emmy-nominated Keith Huff (A Steady Rain, Mad Men, House of Cards) and has also collaborated with Tony Award winner David Rabe (Sticks and Bones ​and​ The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel). The 2022 season featured the World Premiere of Huff’s Garbageman, G.D. Kimble’s What Passes for Comedy and NYTimes Critic’s Pick macbitches. Past award-winning productions include: ​Hurlyburly​ by David Rabe, ​One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest​ by Dale Wasserman, and ​Talk Radio​ by Eric Bogosian. The Chain supports new work by producing two One Act Festivals annually. Each festival includes over 40 plays presented by artists telling their stories their way. Chain Theatre is located at 312 W. 36th Street, 3rd and 4th Floor, New York, NY 10018 For more about the Chain Theatre visit ​www.chaintheatre.org @chaintheatrenyc
