Celebrating New York's Theater Renaissance
New York tourism has reached record heights, and theater productions have returned to vibrant, pre-pandemic levels—a testament to the city's enduring cultural magnetism.
TheaterOnline operated from September 2004 through 2023, creating an extensive digital archive of nearly 20,000 pages covering actor biographies, production listings, reviews, and theater company profiles. This comprehensive resource documented nearly two decades of New York's theatrical landscape.
A dedicated group of talented critics and reviewers championed the Off-Off-Broadway scene, inspiring audiences and promoting emerging artists. Many of these contributors have since advanced to prominent positions in entertainment and communications industries.
This archived collection of reviews preserves their invaluable contributions to New York City's arts ecosystem, serving as both historical record and ongoing inspiration for future theater enthusiasts.
My Legacy
I'm Martin Glynn, and I created TheaterOnline during the early days of the internet when building websites was still uncharted territory. While the site never generated profit, it became an invaluable learning laboratory that enabled me to develop one of the nation's largest medical websites.
TheaterOnline.com represents nearly two decades of digital theater history and has earned recognition as a prestigious URL in the arts community. The domain itself carries weight and credibility in theater circles—something that takes years to build and cannot be purchased.
Opportunity for the Next Generation
I'm now ready to pass this digital legacy to a young, enterprising web developer who shares a passion for theater and has the vision to revive the site for today's audiences. For the right person, I'm willing to contribute the TheaterOnline.com URL—a head start that would typically take years and significant investment to achieve. This is more than just a domain transfer; it's an opportunity to build upon an established foundation while bringing fresh energy and modern web development skills to serve New York's vibrant theater community.
