Living Theatre (New York, N.Y.)

The Living Theatre, founded by Judith Malina and Julian Beck in 1947, produced avant-garde plays performed in New York theaters until 1963, when they were shut down by the IRS for failing to pay taxes. After a worldwide tour, the Living Theatre settled in Berlin in 1965. The company toured the United States in 1968. After touring Brazil and Europe, the Living Theatre came back to New York in May 1989 where it has its present home.
