Mint Theater Company was founded in 1992 in New York City. Their mission is to find, produce, and advocate for "worthwhile plays from the past that have been lost or forgotten".[1][2] They have been instrumental in restoring the theatrical legacy of several playwrights notably; Teresa Deevy,[3][4] Rachel Crothers,[5] and Miles Malleson.[6] As well as producing less produced or forgotten works by noted playwrights such as A. A. Milne,[7] Lillian Hellman,[8] and J. M. Barrie.[9] They have also produced frequently ignored theatrical works by noted authors such as Ernest Hemingway,[10] D. H. Lawrence,[11] and Leo Tolstoy.[11]

New York Times critic Ben Brantley credited Mint Theater Company as a "resurrectionist extraordinaire of forgotten plays".[12] pointing to the company as a torchbearer "devoted to overlooked plays of other times."[13]
