Organization
Founded in 1912 by David T. Nederlander, the Nederlander Organization is one of the largest operators of live arts in America and is based in Detroit, Michigan.

After the Detroit Opera House, the Nederlander Organization operated the Shubert Lafayette Theatre and the Riveria Theatre in Detroit. Both the Detroit Opera House and Shubert Lafayette Theatre no longer exist but over the years, the organization has grown to include nine Broadway theaters, a number of other theaters across America, and three theaters in London, England.
