The 104-year-old theater formerly known as the Selwyn – and soon to be formerly known as the American Airlines – will be renamed to honor the late Todd Haimes, the artistic director and guiding force behind the Roundabout Theatre Company who died in April.
The naming of the Todd Haimes Theatre was announced last night as members of the Broadway community honored Haimes by dimming the marquees of all 41 Broadway theaters. The new name is designed to recognize Haimes’ “extraordinary dedication to the institution he called home, and his enormous contributions to Roundabout and the entire theatre community.”

Haimes died of complications of osteosarcoma at the age of 66 on April 19.

Renamed the American Airlines Theatre, the renovated venue opened in 2000 with The Man Who Came To Dinner, starring Nathan Lane. Since then, the building has provided space for Roundabout’s education programs and career training initiatives, and the stage has been home
