American Airlines Theatre to be Renamed in Honor of Roundabout Theatre Company’s Todd Haimes
Roundabout Theatre Company has announced that the American Airlines Theatre will be renamed the Todd Haimes Theatre, in memory of the former artistic director and CEO of Roundabout Theatre Company. Haimes passed away on April 19, 2023 at age 66.
The theater will be officially dedicated and renamed during Roundabout’s 2023-2024 season. Plans to rename the theater actually arose prior to Haimes’ death, as Roundabout’s current naming sponsorship agreement with American Airlines is set to end in early 2024.

Prior to becoming the American Airlines Theatre, the 104-year-old landmark located at 227 West 42nd Street was known as the Selwyn Theatre. In the 1990s, Haimes led the restoration of the Selwyn as it became the flagship venue of Roundabout.

American Airlines should stick to running an airline. One of these days it may get good at it.
