Lincoln Center - Vivian Beaumont Theater Details

Vivian Beaumont Theater is home to Lincoln Center Theater, America's largest not-for-profit theater. The LCT produces a year-round program of plays and musicals at the Beaumont and at various other theaters around New York City as an integral part of the Lincoln Center's arts program.

The Theater first opened to the public in 1965. Designed by the renowned architect Eero Saarinen and named for Vivian Beaumont Allen, a prominent New York philanthropist, the Beaumont was originally the home of the now-defunct Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, which closed in 1973. From 1973 to 1977, Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival was in residence at the Beaumont. From 1978 through 1985, the Beaumont was mostly rented to outside producers. In 1985, the building's current management -- Lincoln Center Theater -- was established.

Vivian Beaumont Theater is located at the northwest corner the Lincoln Center Plaza, at West 65th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam.
