Make Your Bid to Support Bold Theatre!

The Vineyard Theatre 2019 Gala Auction is now open. The auction will run from May 6, 2019 to May 16, 2019, with proceeds going to Vineyard Theatre in order to support the next generation of unique, visionary theatre artists.

The Vineyard is an Off-Broadway theatre company dedicated to developing and producing bold new plays and musicals by both emerging and established artists. We are committed to creating an artistic home for daring and diverse artists, to nurturing their unique voices, and to engaging our audiences and community in dialogue by producing work that challenges all of us to see ourselves and our world in new ways, and that pushes the boundaries of what theatre can be and do.

The 2018-19 Season launched with the New York premiere of Ngozi Anyanwu’s GOOD GRIEF, a New York Times Critic's Pick, directed by Awoye Timpo. This winter we produced the world premiere of Jeremy O. Harris's "Daddy," directed by Danya Taymor and starring Alan Cumming in a co-production with The New Group. We closed our 2018-2019 Season at the end of April with Mara Nelson-Greenberg's uproarious DO YOU FEEL ANGER?, directed by Margot Bordelon. Our 2019 Gala honoree is the multi-hyphante artist Colman Domingo.
