Now celebrating its 55th year of continuous operation, Magic is dedicated to creative risk: we cultivate bold new plays and playwrights to produce explosive, entertaining, and ideologically robust stories that ask substantive questions about our place in humanity. Magic provides a nurturing yet rigorous artistic home where innovative writers can create a body of work. We believe that developing an evolved artistic vocabulary with the playwright at our side, over a long period of time, greatly improves a playwright’s chances to thrive. We believe that, by adding vanguard voices to the canon and expanding access to new theatre-goers, we ensure the future vibrancy of the American theatre.
