New Line Theatre is a professional company dedicated to involving the people of the St. Louis region in the exploration and creation of daring, provocative, socially and politically relevant works of musical theatre. New Line was created back in 1991 at the vanguard of a new wave of nonprofit musical theatre just starting to take hold across the country.

The company has given birth to several world premiere musicals over the years and has brought back to life many shows that did not do well in their original New York productions. Altogether, New Line has produced 96 musicals and 6 concerts of theatre songs since 1991.

New Line was honored with a special St. Louis Theater Circle Award in 2014 for the company’s body of work over the years. And in 2019, New Line received the What’s Right With the Region Award from Focus St. Louis, for Fostering Creativity for Social Change. New Line Theatre has been given its own entries in the prestigious Cambridge Guide to American Theatre and Theatre World. New Line receives funding from the Regional Arts Commission and the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; and assistance from the Grand Center Arts District and the Kranzberg Arts Foundation.
