Mabou Mines is an artist-driven theater collective, generating original works and re-imagined adaptations of classics. Work is created through multi-disciplinary, technologically inventive collaborations among its members and a wide world of contemporary filmmakers, composers, writers, musicians, choreographers, puppeteers and visual artists. Founded in 1970, the current company members include Founding Artistic Director Lee Breuer and co-Artistic Directors Sharon Fogarty, Karen Evans Kandel and Terry O’Reilly and Associate Artists Clove Galilee, Maude Mitchell and David Neumann.
 

Mabou Mines’ annual programs include the development and premiere of new work through workshops, residencies, remounts of productions from our repertory, as well as national and international touring. The Company serves the artistic community by mentoring emerging artists, and creating opportunities for strengthening the city’s cultural landscape via our longstanding Resident Artists Program (RAP) and our new diversity initiative, SUITE/Space.

 

Mabou Mines returns to the 122CC in the fall of 2017 where we take over the remodeled former Performance Space 122 second floor theater. For the first time, Mabou Mines will have a 1700 sq. ft., 99-seat theater.
