New Ohio Theatre is a two-time OBIE Award-winning, not-for-profit theatre company dedicated to providing a home for New York independent theatre companies and artists. As a small, downtown, artist-run organization (with a 20+ year history as a beacon for bold and inventive work), we know the challenges and rewards of producing and presenting alternative, non-commercial theatre. We work to provide a generous and supportive environment where the theatre community’s most innovative emerging, mid-career, and established companies feel free to challenge themselves and their audiences with work that is intelligent, imaginative, emotionally effecting, and entertaining. With the opening of our new space, we aim to establish a professional, high-profile platform that reestablishes the West Village as a destination for mature, ridiculous, engaged, irreverent, gut-wrenching, frivolous, sophisticated, foolish, and profound theatrical endeavors.

New Ohio was founded as Soho Think Tank, Inc., in 1994 by playwright/director Robert Lyons.
