New York Theater Workshop

New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) is an off-Broadway theater noted for its productions of new works. Located at 79 East 4th St. neighborhood of Manhattan New York City, it houses a 198-seat theatre for its mainstage productions, and a 75-seat black box theater for staged readings and developing work in the building next door, at 83 East 4th Street. 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.
