The New Theatre was the name of both a building (located on Central Park West at 62nd Street; from 1911 to 1930 it was known as the Century Theatre) and a repertory company which operated in the building from 1909 to 1911. The company disbanded in 1911. The building was demolished in 1930, and replaced by the Century Apartments. While this book is focused on the opening of the facility on November 6, 1909, its scope embraces the building, the repertory company, and the management of both the building and company.
