About this organization
Mission
Since our founding in 1979, NYTW has fostered a community of adventurous audiences and visionary theatre-makers, bringing them together to deepen our shared understanding of the world around us. On our stages, our productions have reached hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, and the work we have nurtured has gone on to move millions more uptown and around the world. For more than four decades, we have stretched ourselves to support a diverse range of innovative theatre-makers at every stage of their careers through our Artist Workshop Programs, as well as provided a space for our larger community to connect with the work of artists each year through our Education & Community Engagement Initiatives.
About
The 2018/19 season reflected our ongoing commitment to staging ambitious plays, providing an artistic home to theatre-makers at all stages of their careers through our ARTIST WORKSHOP PROGRAMS, and creating opportunities for young people and our wider community to explore the creative process and engage with the work on our stage through our EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES. The season also marked the third year of our strategic plan to enhance the resources we provide our artists, staff, and community-at-large. The first three years have seen great strides towards our goals. We have increased our mainstage season to five productions, launched NEXT DOOR, a program that provides artists and small theatre companies with resources to support the development and production of their new work in our recently renovated black box theatre, and created the 2050 ADMINISTRATIVE FELLOWSHIP. In 2018/19, NYTW reached 47,639 audience members who joined us for 288 performances. The season opened with WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME, written by and featuring Heidi Schreck and directed by Oliver Butler. This groundbreaking work ignited a powerful conversation about who benefits from our founding document, with a critical audience response so powerful that it compelled us to transfer the show to the Greenwich House Theater in November 2018. In March 2019, the production opened to rapturous acclaim on Broadway. WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME was selected by The New Yorker and The New York Times for their Best Theater of 2018 lists in addition to 17 other media outlets. In November, after a year in development at the Workshop, we mounted the world premiere of SLAVE PLAY. This provocative and explosive new play, Jeremy O. Harris professional debut, rips apart history to raise new questions on the nexus of race, gender, and sexuality in 21st Century America. SLAVE PLAY extended for two extra weeks and made its Broadway debut in October 2019. In February 2019, in a collaboration with WP Theater, we staged the New York premiere of Madeleine Georges HURRICANE DIANE, directed by Leigh Silverman. In this new comedy, the Greek god Dionysus takes form as Diane, a lesbian permaculture gardener who is on a mission to gather followers and restore the Earth to its natural state by altering the lives of four New Jersey housewives. Sara Holdren of New York Magazine wrote, 'Its worth noting that its the 3rd production in NYTWs on-fire season to understand that if it wants to talk about big, fearsome things, then its got to take risks with its form. Following on the heels of the brilliant WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME and the audacious SLAVE PLAY, HURRICANE DIANE blows in with its own fierce commitment to tackling an issue of urgency and substance.' In April 2019, 17 BORDER CROSSINGS made its Off-Broadway debut at the Workshop. With a chair, table, and bar of lights, visionary theatre-maker Thaddeus Phillips and director Tatiana Mallarino magically conjure barricaded Venezuelan bridges, a rusty Croatian ferry, perilous international flights, obscure Amazonian ports, the twin cities of El Paso and Juarez, deportations, strip searches, illegal crossings, arbitrary passports and curious customs. Based on Phillips actual adventures, 17 BORDER CROSSINGS is a harrowing, comical, visually surreal and engrossing look at the imaginary lines that divide up the world and the very real barriers they create. Rounding out the season was PROOF OF LOVE. A collaboration with Audible and presented at the Minetta Lane Theatre, PROOF OF LOVE is a new play by Chisa Hutchinson and directed by former NYTW 2050 Artistic Fellow Jade King Carroll. Constance thought she had a happy life and a loving husband. Suddenly, a tragic accident splinters her upper-class black family and forces Constance to face uncomfortable truths about her marriage and herself. PROOF OF LOVE is an explosive, funny, and moving new one-woman play by Chisa Hutchinson, member of the first class of talent supported by the Audible Playwrights Fund. While the productions on our stage are the primary way NYTW is recognized by the public, our ARTIST WORKSHOP PROGRAMS allow us to support 2,000+ artists each year, who represent a multitude of different voices and lived experiences, and whose work is aesthetically, thematically, and methodologically diverse, through a dynamic roster of developmental activities. The programs include our year-long fellowships, readings, extended workshops, and retreats that are all designed to support artists from the initial seeds of an idea to full-fledged productions. In addition, our EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES connect our adventurous audiences and community-at-large to our artists and the work on our stage. Through these programs, we bring together approximately 1,700 public school students from seven partner schools, 11 early-career administrators through a year-long professional development program, and 900 individuals at our post-show talkbacks.
