Mind the Gap Theatre
The brainchild of Paula D'Alessandris, Mind The Gap (MTG) Theatre Company was conceived in 1998 to import edgy British productions, readings and workshops to New York audiences and, in return, export some of America's unknown theatrical talent to the United Kingdom. Featuring An Anglo-American repertory company of actors and writers, the New York City-based company maintains active ties to an assortment of British theatre agencies and has a literary staff that reads hundreds of new scripts each year. In 2001, Dame Helen Mirren and Dame Judi Dench joined MTG's Board of Advisors. In 2013 Dame Harriet Walter joined the board. The title is taken from a warning message frequently heard on the London Underground train system, where a voice reminds passengers to Mind the gap when alighting from the train; it also alludes to the gap between British and American theatre.
