“MCC is one of the nation’s greatest theater incubators. Many of their productions, including Hand to God, The Other PlaceReasons To Be Pretty, and Frozen, have gone on to Broadway. Hand to God was nominated for five Tony awards, including Best Play. Wit, which won the Pulitzer Prize was adapted for film. Plus many MCC works have been re-staged throughout the world.”

-Forbes

“one of the nation’s GREATEST theater INCUBATORS.”

“We couldn’t ask for a more fitting institution to help drive home BOB’S COMMITMENT to supporting EDUCATION and CULTURE.”

“I know I speak on behalf of everyone at the Trust when I say it is truly an honor to be a part of the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space. We know the space that bears Bob’s name will be a tremendous asset to this community and a generator to some of the most important art of our time. We couldn’t ask for a more fitting institution to help drive home Bob’s commitment to supporting education and culture.”

RICHARD G. SCHNEIDMAN, a trustee of the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust.
