The Gloucester Stage mission is to present the highest quality professional theatrical productions and thus contribute to the cultural, economic and educational development of Cape Ann. The Gloucester Stage Company was co-founded in 1979 by Geoff Richon, Denny Blodget, and award-winning playwright Israel Horovitz as a safe harbor for playwrights and new plays. For its first seven seasons, the company performed at the historic Blackburn Tavern in downtown Gloucester. In 1987, Gortons generously offered GSC a long-term residence in its building in East Gloucester on Smiths Cove adjacent the galleries and restaurants of Rocky Neck, the oldest art colony in the United States. A former Gortons Seafoods warehouse, the two-story brick building has served as the permanent home of the Gloucester Stage Company since then. In 2004, GSC purchased the building from Gortons, which was renovated to include a large lobby plus heating and air conditioning. The theater seats up to 190 guests on three sides of a thrust stage. During its first twenty seasons, the GSC successfully realized its mission with the production of more than 32 World premieres, 6 American premieres, and 17 New England premieres. Plays developed at the GSC have gone on to critical and popular acclaim on Broadway, off-Broadway, across the United States, and around the world. The Company has received numerous awards and citations including several Elliot Norton Awards (awarded by The Boston Theater Critics Association) for individual productions and performances and a New England Theater Conference Award. Mr Horovitz was honored with Bostons prestigious Elliot Norton Prize for his work with the GSC.
