The Boomerang Theatre Company is an award-winning Off-Off-Broadway theatre company based in New York City. Boomerang annually produces a season composed of three programs: free outdoor Shakespeare productions in parks throughout NYC; an indoor repertory series of new, classic and neglected plays; and FIRST FLIGHT, a new play development series of workshops and readings.
In the past eight years, the Boomerang Theatre Company has produced 32 full productions, including four world premieres and three New York City premieres. Boomerang has been awarded two New York Innovative Theatre Awards for Burning the Old Man by Kelly McAllister, an OOBR Award for The Misanthrope by Moliere, and was selected as a September 2005 recipient of The STAR Initiative from WNYC radio. The company also presented the United States premiere of Irvine (Trainspotting) Welsh's You'll Have Had Your Hole in the NYC International Fringe Festival. Two plays produced by Boomerang have been published in annual Plays and Playwrights anthologies.
Through the FIRST FLIGHT series, Boomerang has developed 30 new works through readings and workshops. We are honored to work with some of the most exciting emerging playwrights in America, including Mike Folie, Steven Gridley, Francis Kuzler, Kelly McAllister, Mary Jett Parsley, and Peter Shelburne. These plays have gone on to production both with Boomerang and with other theaters across the country.
