🎷 35for35 Moment: THE GREAT GATSBY Begins at The Fountain

Did you know one of the most widely produced stage adaptations of The Great Gatsby was created right here at The Fountain Theatre?

Fountain playwright, longtime artistic partner, and treasured member of our artistic family Simon Levy developed THE stage adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY with us. Since then, it has been produced hundreds of times worldwide—on professional stages, university theatres, high schools, and community theatres around the globe. For many young people, this production is their first live encounter with one of America’s defining stories.

What began in our intimate theatre has become a beloved, internationally produced work of American theatre.

For more than 30 years, Simon has poured his artistry, vision, and heart into The Fountain Theatre. His legacy is part of our DNA—and part of the reason we continue to dream boldly for the next generation of artists and audiences.

Help us honor the artists who built this legacy, and fuel those who will carry it forward:

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF GATSBY!

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” marks its 100th anniversary today as a cornerstone of classic American literature. Initially a commercial disappointment—selling fewer than 25,000 copies during his lifetime—it gained traction during World War II through military distribution. Since then, it has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and remains a staple in high school curricula.

Set in 1922 Long Island and New York City, the novel explores the illusion of the American dream through Jay Gatsby’s doomed pursuit of wealth and love. Inspired by Fitzgerald’s youthful romance with socialite Ginevra King and his time on Long Island’s North Shore during the Jazz Age, its themes of aspiration, class divides, and moral decay remain relevant to readers today. Now in the public domain, it has inspired at least four feature films, several TV episodes, an opera, two musicals, and more.

Centennial celebrations include a Broadway toast, a Library of Congress reading, and the Empire State Building being illuminated in green—a nod to Gatsby’s iconic symbol of hope.
