Transport Group is a not-for-profit, off-Broadway theatre company in New York City that stages new works and re-imagines revivals by American writers. Our visually progressive productions of emotionally classic stories explore the challenges of relationship and identity in modern America. Co-Founded in 2001 by Jack Cummings III & Robyn Hussa, Transport Group is currently run by Cummings as Artistic Director and Executive Director, Denise Dickens.
We produce plays and musicals; new works and revivals. Transport Group's most recent season featured not only two musicals, but two very different musicals. Broadbend, Arkansas was produced at The Duke on 42nd St in the Fall of 2019.
