AMT Theater

AMT Theater is a vibrant performing arts organization with a dual mission to both aspire for Broadway success and make a significant impact on people's lives through the performing arts. Located in the heart of New York City's theater district, AMT Theater serves as a regional theater, engaging with the local community by drawing on their energy and soliciting their opinions. The organization is dedicated to producing new shows, encouraging emerging writers and directors, and involving young people in the arts from an early age. Under the artistic direction of Tony Sportiello, AMT Theater has established itself as a hub for original theater productions. Sportiello, a seasoned playwright and producer, has seen his works performed across the United States and internationally. Together with producer Al Tapper, a multifaceted individual with a background in Broadway composition, lyricism, and playwriting, they have created notable productions such as "National Pastime," "All Aboard," and "The Paparazzi." AMT Theater's commitment to the arts extends beyond traditional theater productions. The organization has a strong educational component, particularly evident in its Youth Theater program, led by Youth Artistic Director Mary Lauren. The program offers young performers the opportunity to engage in musical theater, acting, dance, voice, and Shakespeare classes, culminating in performances of Broadway musicals like "Beauty and the Beast." The theater's team boasts a diverse array of talents, including Technical Director Tamara Flannagan, who brings a wealth of experience in set design and stage management, and Operations Manager Julia Carr, who combines her acting background with expertise in IT program management. Executive Producer Joan Pelzer offers a unique blend of marketing and production skills, while U.S./Mexican Liaison Laura Iñiguez bridges international collaborations, particularly with the artistic community in Guadalajara, Mexico. AMT Theater's commitment to new work development is spearheaded by Mimi Warnick, who focuses on fostering new and transformative theater experiences for audiences and communities. The theater's educational outreach is further supported by Associate Producer Gil Brady, who brings over two decades of educational experience to the organization. Located at 354 West 45th Street in New York, NY, AMT Theater not only provides a platform for professional theatrical productions but also serves as a nurturing ground for the next generation of theater artists. With a rich schedule of classes, workshops, and performances, AMT Theater remains a beacon for creativity and artistic excellence in the heart of New York City's theater district.
