La Mama's Mama Has a Theater Named After Her

- Nearly 50 years after founding La MaMa E.T.C., the experimental theater that has become synonymous with the avant-garde, Ellen Stewart was honored this past Sunday on Nov. 1 with a gala benefit to rename La MaMa’s Annex Theater the Ellen Stewart Theatre. “It’s Ellen’s 90th birthday, and how we’ll celebrate is to name the Annex the Ellen Stewart Theater," explained associate artistic director Mia Yoon. "We all know that the space is really special to her, and she’s made that space special herself.” Located a few steps down the block from La MaMa’s main two-stage building, the Annex has been open since La MaMa’s production of The Trojan Women in 1974.
