Over the past 100 years, the Drama Book Shop has become the city's best source for theatrical works, with over 8,000 plays regularly in stock. In 2011, the Drama Book Shop received a Tony Award® Honor for Excellence in the Theatre.
The Drama Book Shop opened in its current home on West 39th Street in 2020 under new ownership of long time friends and patrons of the bookstore Thomas Kail and Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with Jeffrey Seller and James L. Nederlander.
