[edit] History
The Roundabout was founded in 1965 by Gene Feist and Elizabeth Owens.[1] The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, which includes the Laura Pels Theatre, is located on West 46th Street in Manhattan. The Center was developed, with financial support from the Steinbergs, "to support its artistic mission of fostering emerging talent in playwriting, performance, and stagecraft."[2]
