Founded in 1979 by Stephen Graham, New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) is dedicated to ensuring the robust and compelling presence of the artist in our society. This mission is manifested in two distinct but equally important focuses of activity: first through producing an annual season of productions in our 199-seat theater in Manhattan’s East Village and second, by inviting theatre-makers at all stages of their careers, to participate in activities that allow them to gain support for both themselves and their projects. This dual programming, on our stage and in our “workshop,” allows NYTW to develop and produce theatrical experiences that reflect and respond to the world around us and re-invigorate the artists and audiences we connect with each year.
As both a laboratory for theatrical exploration and a producer of plays that expand the boundaries of theatrical form and address the critical issues of our times, NYTW has been able to support projects that are aesthetically, thematically, and methodologically diverse. Among our long list of acclaimed work is Jonathan Larson’s RENT, Tony Kushner’sHomebody/Kabul, Martha Clarke’s Vienna: Lusthaus (revisited), Caryl Churchill’s Far Away and A Number, John Guare’s Lydie Breeze, Doug Wright’s Quills, Claudia Shear’sBlown Sideways Through Life, and six acclaimed productions directed by Ivo van Hove. NYTW’s productions have received a Pulitzer Prize, seventeen Tony Awards and assorted Obie, Drama Desk, and Lucille Lortel Awards. NYTW is currently represented on Broadway with Once and Peter and the Starcatcher. Over the course of almost thirty seasons, NYTW has evolved to become a significant force in New York City’s vibrant cultural landscape and is recognized as one of the leading producing theatres of original work in the United States.
