Over the course of seven decades, Circle in the Square theatre profoundly changed ideas of what American theatre could be. Founded by Theodore Mann and Josae Quintero in an abandoned Off-Broadway nightclub just after WWII, it was acatalyst for the Off-Broadway movement. The building had a unique arena-shaped performance space that became Circle in the Square theatre, New York's first Off-Broadway arena stage and currently Broadway's only arena stage. The theatre was precedent-setting in many other regards, including operating as a non-profit, contracting with trade unions, establishing a school, and serving as a home for blacklisted artists. It sparked a resurgence of interest in playwright Eugene O'Neill's canon, and was famous for landmark revivals and American premieres of his plays. The theatre also fostered the careers of such luminaries as Geraldine Page, Colleen Dewhurst, George C. Scott, Jason Robards, James Earl Jones, Cecily Tyson, Dustin Hoffman, Irene Papas, Alan Arkin, Philip Bosco, Al Pacino, Amy Irving, Pamela Payton-Wright, Vanessa Redgrave, Julie Christie, John Malkovich, Lynn Redgrave, and Annette Bening."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Circle in the Square Theatre (Paramount Plaza : New York, N.Y.) $x History. 650 0 $a Theater $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Theater $z New York $z New York $x History $y 21st century. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B2C4FC2EAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
