Manhattan Ensemble Theatre

Manhattan Ensemble Theatre ("MET") was an award-winning,nonprofit, theatre company based in New York City from 1999 to 2007. The company was founded as an Off-Broadway, Equity repertory company in 1999 by writer-producer David Fishelson with the stated mission of creating theatrical adaptations of stories found in fiction, journalism, film, biography and memoir.

In its short history, MET featured several well-known stars in its productions, including Jim Parsons (CBS's The Big Bang Theory),Mireille Enos (AMC's The Killing), and Robert Prosky (Hill Street Blues, Broadcast News, Dead Man Walking).

The 2003-4 season saw frequent transfers of shows from the 140-seat MET home, as described in Playbill:

With Golda's Balcony (which opened at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway on Oct. 15), MET has two hits based on the lives of renowned historical figures. Its first offering this season, Hank Williams: Lost Highway, about the troubled country singer and composer, was hailed and quickly transferred following an extended run. It is currently playing the Little Shubert Off-Broadway. (In fact, the runaway success of MET's first two shows caused the nonprofit to postpone its third selection until the (2004-05) season.)
