The New Century Theatre was a Broadway theater in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, at 205–207 West 58th Street and 926–932 Seventh Avenue. Opened on October 6, 1921, as Jolson's 59th Street Theatre, the theater was designed by Herbert J. Krapp on the site of the Central Park Riding Academy. It was built for the Shubert brothers, who named the house after Al Jolson.
In 1920, the Shuberts announced plans to convert the Central Park Riding Academy into a theater, hiring Krapp to renovate the old structure. The Shuberts went bankrupt in 1931 and sold off Jolson's 59th Street Theatre, in part because of the venue's remoteness from Times Square. The venue was then leased as a film house called the Central Park Theatre. It was then renamed five more times before assuming the "New Century" name in 1944. The theater was converted to an NBC broadcast studio in 1953, then to a videotape studio in 1958. Upon the theater's demolition in 1962, the apartment building at 200 Central Park South was erected on the site.

The New Century Theatre was a legitimate Broadway theatre located at 932 Seventh Avenue at West 58th Street in midtown
Manhattan.
The house, which seated 1700, was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp for the Shuberts, who originally named it Jolson's
59th Street Theatre after Al Jolson, who opened the venue with a Sigmund Romberg musical called Bombo on October 6, 1921.
Two years later, it hosted the American premiere of Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre.
The theatre underwent several name changes over the next several years. As the Central Park Theatre, it was operated as a
movie house. It then became the Shakespeare Theatre, the Molly Picon Theatre, the Venice, and twice reverted to Jolson Theatre,
honoring Jolson, before finally being refurbished and reopened as the New Century on April 8, 1944.
Its place in theatrical history was established in 1937 when Orson Welles and his acting troupe marched their production of
The Cradle Will Rock into the theatre and performed it from seats in the audience in defiance of Actors Equity.
In the late 40s and early 50s, NBC used the New Century for live television programs performed before a studio audience.
The theatre was shuttered in 1954 and demolished in 1962.
