Assassins at the Roundabout Theatre Company

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) was founded in 1965 and has grown from a small 150-seat theatre in a converted supermarket basement to become one of America’s most significant producers of theatre. This not-for-profit company, with more than 40,000 season subscribers, is committed to producing definitive productions of classic plays and musicals, ensuring that audiences and artists alike have access to high-quality, professional stagings of important works of world literature.

Enjoy some photos from their 2004 Broadway production of Assassins:

Production highlights include Anna Christie (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival), She Loves Me (Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Olivier Awards for Best Revival of a Musical), Cabaret (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Musical) and Nine (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Musical). With more than 2,300 performances, Cabaret was one of the longest-running musical revivals in Broadway history. Three productions from Roundabout’s 1997-98 season, A View From the Bridge (Tony®, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Play), 1776 and Side Man (Tony® Award for Best Play), were transferred to commercial Broadway engagements.

On October 8, 2000, channel Thirteen/WNET nationally broadcast the Roundabout’s production of The Man Who Came to Dinner, the first production in its new permanent home in the American Airlines Theatre on 42nd Street. Channel Thirteen/WNET also broadcast the star-studded production of The Women in June 2002.

Since moving to Broadway in 1991, Roundabout productions have received 78 Tony® nominations, 80 Drama Desk nominations and 92 Outer Critics Circle nominations. In 1995, Roundabout expanded its repertoire to include the premieres of new plays by great writers of the present day. To that end, Roundabout presents its Off-Broadway Laura Pels Theatre Season, where new works by writers such as Brian Friel, Paula Vogel, Richard Greenberg, Beth Henley and Harold Pinter have been featured. Beyond the work on stage, Roundabout is recognized as a national leader in audience development and offers a comprehensive program of initiatives including the Solo Series, the Early Curtain Series, the Wine Series, the Gay and Lesbian Series and related humanities events and publications.

The year 2002 marked the inaugural Jason Robards Award created by the Roundabout to recognize excellence in theatre. The first award was presented to Christopher Plummer at the company’s spring Gala. In addition, through arts and educational programs, Roundabout reaches more than 7,000 New York City public high school students and their teachers each year. With a focus on in-depth programming, these activities range from professional development for teachers to in-school artist residencies to student matinees at its Broadway and Off-Broadway theatres.

Through national tours, live broadcasts, education and outreach programs and its work on three stages, Roundabout touches the lives of millions of theatregoers, students and artists across the country.
