Your Gift Makes Our Programs Possible

Supporting Directors

With over 105 years of history, The Drama League remains one of the nation’s oldest continuously-operating, not-for-profit arts service organizations.

We deliver opportunities for creative and career advancement for stage directors and the theatrical community, while connecting audiences to their work. We do this through programming in New York City at our home in Tribeca as well as through local, national and international partnerships. Every gift to The Drama League advances our fellowships, residencies, education and public programs.

As a service organization focused on directors our work is more urgent than ever and we are very grateful for your support.

The Who’s TOMMY

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade and their Greaser family of “outsiders” battle with their affluent rivals, the Socs. This thrilling new Broadway musical navigates the complexities of self-discovery as the Greasers dream about who they want to become in a world that may never accept them. With a dynamic original score, The Outsiders is a story of friendship, family, belonging… and the realization that there is still “lots of good in the world.”
