"Our 12-year partnership with NYC & Company on NYC Off-Broadway Week continues to attract new audiences to Off-Broadway who may not have otherwise considered the off-the-beaten-path destination, the variety of cool shows on stage or the opportunity to see a production before its mainstream success,” said Terry Byrne, president of The Off-Broadway League.
“In an age where we value experiences over things, we are pleased to continue our sponsorship of NYC Off-Broadway Week. By providing an accessible means for Mastercard cardholders to experience the cutting edge of NYC’s dynamic performing arts scene, people can share their passion for the arts with those that matter most to them,” said Cheryl Guerin, executive vice president of North America Marketing & Communications at Mastercard.
This season, visitors to nycgo.com/off-broadway-week will find useful tools such as a filter to sort productions by: Location, Kid-Friendly, Musical, Play and Performance. Indecisive browsers can also save shows of interest, to then book upon further consideration (although some shows do sell out).
NYC Off-Broadway Week is produced by NYC & Company in partnership with The Off-Broadway League and preferred payment partner Mastercard. NYC Off-Broadway Week will be promoted through exclusive content on NYCgo.com including “6 Shows to See During NYC Off-Broadway Week,” “NYC Theater 101” and “The Ultimate Guide to Off-Broadway,” out-of-home media in the five boroughs, digital advertising and through social media posts @nycgo and with hashtag #NYCOffBroadwayWeek.

About The Off-Broadway League
The Off-Broadway League was founded in 1959 to foster theatrical productions produced in Off-Broadway theatres (productions in Manhattan in venues with 100–499 seats), to assist in the voluntary exchange of information among its members, and to serve as a collective voice of its membership in pursuit of these goals. In the recent years the League has grown to represent an average of 150 individual members and theatres and 100 non-for-profit and commercial shows per season.
