History
In 1900, Sam, Lee and Jacob J. Shubert, moved to New York City and began rapidly acquiring theatres and producing shows. By 1916, the Shuberts had become the nation's most important and powerful theatre owners and managers. In the last three decades, The Shubert Organization has dedicated its energies and resources to a long-term campaign for the revitalization of the American theatre. Its many projects have included the refurbishment of all Shubert playhouses, devoted participation in civic and community affairs, and a continuing effort to rehabilitate the Times Square Theatre District.
