What We Believe
SoHo Playhouse is a world-class venue rooted in New York City, host to multiple annual festivals, and provider of lifelong education programs.
We are united by a core belief that groundbreaking theater and global voices can transform and connect us.
We pride ourselves on creating new forms of live entertainment and empowering works that open hearts in spaces where everyone feels welcome.
We support today’s artists who speak to our moment, interpret their view of the world, and translate it into artistic expression for audiences.
Our Vision
Continuing in the spirit of the theater’s original custodian, Edward Albee and his Playwright Unit Workshop, SoHo Playhouse is committed to presenting the brightest and most talented local and global artists.
We are committed to offering New York City’s theater audiences important stories told in unique styles, and evolving the concept of Off-Broadway experiences for the twenty-first century.
We believe creativity is boundless in a multidimensional arts organization, where cultural equity opens up artistic expression to everyone. When we invest in the new, we enable visionary ideas in the arts and our global society to emerge.
Our Impact
SoHo Playhouse presents, produces, commissions, and shares theater in ways that deepen belonging—supporting artists, strengthening our city’s cultural ecosystem, and bringing learning and live performance to more people.
