New York Theatre Workshop empowers visionary theatre-makers and brings their work to adventurous audiences through productions, artist workshops and educational programs. We nurture pioneering new writers alongside powerhouse playwrights, engage inimitable genre-shaping directors, and support emerging artists in the earliest days of their careers. We’ve mounted over 150 productions from artists whose work has shaped our very idea of what theatre can be, including Jonathan Larson’s Rent; Tony Kushner’s Slavs! and Homebody/Kabul; Doug Wright’s Quills; Claudia Shear’s Blown Sideways Through Life and Dirty Blonde; Paul Rudnick’s The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told and Valhalla; Martha Clarke’s Vienna: Lusthaus; Will Power’s The Seven and Fetch Clay, Make Man; Caryl Churchill’s Mad Forest, Far Away, A Number and Love and Information; Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen’s Aftermath; Rick Elice’s Peter and the Starcatcher; Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová and Enda Walsh’s Once; David Bowie and Enda Walsh’s Lazarus; Dael Orlandersmith’s The Gimmick and Forever; Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me; Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play; and eight acclaimed productions directed by Ivo van Hove. NYTW’s productions have received a Pulitzer Prize, 25 Tony Awards, 2 Grammy Awards and assorted Obie, Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel Awards. NYTW is represented on Broadway with Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown developed with and directed by Rachel Chavkin.


Opportunities to engage with New York Theatre Workshop:

At NYTW, we are deeply committed to intergenerational learning and community-driven storytelling through our robust Education and Engagement programs.

Our flagship initiative, Mind the Gap, brings together youth and elders to write plays inspired by each other’s life experiences, fostering meaningful cross-generational connections. We also collaborate with Poetic Theater Production’s Veteran Voices to offer a Playwriting Seminar tailored for military veterans and their families, creating space for their stories to be heard.

In partnership with PEN America and National Queer Theatre, we proudly offer a playwriting seminar for immigrant students from the CUNY system and beyond, amplifying diverse voices in the theatre.

Additionally, our 2050 Artistic Fellowship supports 5-6 early-career artists from historically underrepresented communities, providing resources and space to develop new work. The 2050 Administrative Fellowship offers a year-long, paid opportunity for emerging arts leaders from underserved backgrounds to gain hands-on experience in theatre administration.
