From a supermarket basement in Chelsea to an indelible Broadway force, Roundabout Theatre Company has created lasting memories for audiences spanning six decades. Now, a new era for Roundabout is on the horizon.

The Next Stage Campaign is our $120 million effort to fortify Roundabout and its future. We’ve raised 75% of our goal, and we hope you’ll join us.

With bold leadership, a sound financial foundation, and a commitment to taking impactful artistic risks, this is the time to invest in our programs, buildings, and reserves.


The Next Stage Campaign will secure Roundabout’s future by maintaining and expanding our vital programs on and off stage, growing our Board Reserve Fund, and preparing for a comprehensive renovation of Studio 54, cementing it as Roundabout’s long-term home for musical theatre.

Our Next Innovation

As part of the Next Stage Campaign, Roundabout will undertake the first comprehensive renovation of Studio 54 in its 100-year history. This project will preserve the history and magic of this legendary venue while modernizing it to provide the best experience for our audiences and artists.

Our Next Generation

Beyond the work on stage, Roundabout invests millions each year into new play development initiatives, community engagement, and education programs. Gifts to the Next Stage Campaign will help us maintain and expand these programs, deepening our work in building the future of theatre in our city.

Our Next Legacy

Roundabout’s financial reserves help us maintain our mission-driven programs and world-class production standards through challenging times. The Next Stage Campaign will replenish these funds, ensuring we can continue to push artistic boundaries and produce work you couldn’t see anywhere else.
