About New York Theatre Workshop:

At New York Theatre Workshop, we work relentlessly to empower visionary theatre‐makers and bring their work to adventurous audiences through productions, artist workshops, and education and community engagement programs. We’re proud to be a home base for many of the most significant theatre‐makers of our time, nurturing groundbreaking writers like Nathan Alan Davis and Celine Song alongside powerhouse playwrights like Amy Herzog and Ayad Akhtar. From Rachel Chavkin and Lileana Blain‐Cruz to Whitney White, Liesl Tommy and Rubén Polendo, we empower inimitable auteur‐directors and give invaluable support to tremendous talents in the earliest days of their careers. We’ve maintained decades‐long relationships with legendary theatre‐makers like Colman Domingo, Ivo van Hove, Dael Orlandersmith, and Caryl Churchill, who have shaped our very understanding of what theatre can be.

Since our founding in 1979, we’ve produced over 150 fully-realized productions including Jonathan Larson’s Rent; Tony Kushner’s Homebody/Kabul; Doug Wright’s Quills; Claudia Shear’s Dirty Blonde; Rick Elice’s Peter and the Starcatcher; Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová and Enda Walsh’s Once; David Bowie and Enda Walsh’s Lazarus; and Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s Merrily We Roll Along, directed by Maria Friedman. Enabling our artists to push boundaries generates work like Nathan Alan Davis’s Nat Turner in Jerusalem, Anaïs Michell’s Hadestown, Mfoniso Udofia’s Ufot Family Cycle, The Bengsons’ Hundred Days, Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me, Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play, Celine Song’s Endlings, Kristina Wong’s Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord, Aleshea Harris’s On Sugarland and Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich’s Here There Are Blueberries. NYTW productions have received a Pulitzer Prize, 29 Tony Awards, 2 Grammy Awards, and numerous Obie, Drama Desk, and Lucille Lortel Awards.

But that’s not what we’re proudest of. We take the greatest satisfaction from the community we’ve built, and the perspective-shifting experiences we’ve delivered along the way. We think that theatre can bring people together, change the conversation, and have a profound impact. We feel fortunate to get to support it. If that sounds like something you’re interested in too, we’d love to meet you.
