Mint Theater Company finds and produces worthwhile plays from the past that have been lost or forgotten. We create new life for these plays and their authors through research, dramaturgy, production, readings, and a variety of enrichment programs. We extend that life by preserving our work — through publication, our online archives, and with broadcast quality video recordings.

In the words of New York Times’ critic Ben Brantley, Mint Theater is the “resurrectionist extraordinaire of forgotten plays.” We scour the dramaturgical dustbin for worthwhile plays from the past that have been lost or neglected — and we create new life for them through production, publication, and educational initiatives.

Our work has been recognized with an Obie Grant (2001), a special Drama Desk Award (2002), and the Theater History Museum’s Theatre Preservation Award (2010) along with a host of Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel Award nominations. In fulfilling our mission, we’ve created some the most compelling theater in New York. As Gwen Orel wrote in the Irish Examiner “We are lucky in New York to have the Mint here. If all they did was find and stage these plays, it would be enough, but what they do is reincarnate them into striking works of art.”
