Workers Theatre was a theatre-oriented magazine put out by the Communist Party USA in 1931, 1932, and 1933.

Workers Theatre started as crude mimeographed issues with rough sketches drawn on the covers and inside. In May of 1932, it appeared as a typeset, more professional – looking publication, with some half tone photos on the cover and inside. Its final issue was July-August 1933. "Workers Theatre" became "New Theatre" with the September-October 1933 issue. Starting in April of 1935, issues of New Theatre featured spectacular color artwork on their covers. The last issue of New Theatre was the November, 1936 issue. In March of 1937 this publication briefly reappeared under the new name of New Theatre and Film. But this incarnation of the publication survived for a run of only two issues total, with its final issue being the April, 1937 issue.
