About the show

More than 75 years in the making, an unfinished work by one of America’s greatest dramatists takes the New York stage at last. Thornton Wilder’s The Emporium unveils the artist’s final play, brought to life through playwright Kirk Lynn’s masterful completion. As a young man journeys through the city and beyond, he encounters a world of wonder, meaning, and the elusive truths of life itself. Wilder’s long-unseen masterpiece is finally ready to be discovered, offering a rare chance to experience a new work from a legendary voice.
