The historic Selwyn Theatre was restored under the careful watch of the New 42nd Street. The auditorium and stage were renovated while a new basement lobby and penthouse reception room were added. Theatre Project's affiliate and award-winning scenic designer Tony Walton created a unique and theatrical interior design for the auditorium. Flexible equipment systems and infrastructure allows the theatre to operate efficiently as a commercial Broadway venue.
