"Off Broadway Theater Set to Depart Rem Koolhaas' Second Stage Design"
Second Stage Theater, known for nurturing Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning shows, is leaving its Rem Koolhaas-designed Off Broadway theater in Times Square due to high rent and unfavorable lease terms after 25 years. The nonprofit theater company is committed to continuing its work Off Broadway and is searching for a new space, while also undergoing a leadership transition as its president and artistic director, Carole Rothman, is leaving after a 45-year tenure.
