New Haven, Connecticut Gordon Edelstein, Artistic Director Ray Cullom, Managing Director www.longwharf.org Long Wharf Theatre Long Wharf Theatre was the creation of Jon Jory and Harlan Kleiman, two Yale alumni who shared the dream of starting a resident professional theatre company in New Haven. Assisted by an avid group of community leaders and patrons of the arts, they made that dream a reality in 1965 when Arthur Miller’s The Crucible opened for a two-week engagement. Now in its 41st season, Long Wharf is recognized as a leader in American Theatre, producing fresh and imaginative revivals of classics and modern plays, rediscoveries of neglected works and a variety of world and American premieres. More than twenty productions have transferred virtually intact to Broadway or Off-Broadway, including Wit (1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama), Down the Garden Paths, and Red. Michael Christofer’s The Shadow Box premiered at Long Wharf and earned its author a Pulitzer, and D.L. Coburn was awarded the Prize after his play, The Gin Game, transferred from Long Wharf to Broadway and won multiple Tony Awards. Long Wharf Theatre is dedicated to cultivating audiences that reflect the State of Connecticut and the diversity of its cities as well as its rural and suburban areas, and serving as a forum for the examination of historical and current issues through humanities programming.
