New York City Center has played a defining role in the cultural life of the city since 1943. It was Manhattan's first performing arts center, dedicated by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia with a mission to make the best in music, theater and dance accessible to all audiences. Today, City Center is home to many distinguished companies, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Manhattan Theatre Club; a roster of renowned national and international visiting artists; and our own acclaimed programs, including the Tony-honored Encores! musical theater series and the Fall for Dance festival. In 2011 City Center completed an extensive renovation project to revitalize and modernize its historic theater.
