Theatre Guild

Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : Theatre Guild

The Theatre Guild was a theatrical society founded by Lawrence Langner in New York City in 1918, with the purpose of producing noncommercial American and foreign plays. It differed from other theaters at the time in that its board of directors shared the responsibility of choosing plays, management, and production. Staging works mainly at the Westport Country Playhouse, the Theatre Guild was influential to the success of Broadway in the 1920s.
