Founded in 1993, Ensemble Studio Theatre's Youngblood serves as the creative home for the next generation of theatre artists. Youngblood provides artistic guidance, peer support, regular feedback and a fertile production environment which allows member playwrights to hone their skills and explore their craft. They also provide exposure to the public and the press, professional outreach to the industry, and opportunities for production and publication.

Algonquin Seaport Theater opened the doors to its newest venue April 1st. The theater overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge on Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport. It features live music, theater and cabaret. The goal is to construct a 200 seat Off Broadway house by 2012. Algonquin Theater Productions has produced the shows "Sessions", "The Devil and Billy Markham" and "An Evening at The Carlyle".
