New York Theatre Workshop, Theatre company in East Village, Manhattan, United States
The New York Theatre Workshop is a theatre company and nonprofit organization in the East Village section of Manhattan. The auditorium on East 4th Street features a mid-sized stage with seating rows arranged close to the action.
The organization began in the late seventies as a platform for contemporary stage work. In the nineties it developed a musical production that later gained worldwide recognition.
The name reflects its role as a workshop where plays take shape through rehearsals and trial performances attended by local audiences. Visitors often see works in progress that reflect the concerns and rhythms of city life.
The entrance sits on a quiet side street in a neighborhood with many restaurants and bars within walking distance. Performances usually take place in the evening, and the auditorium is small enough that nearly every seat offers a good view.
An initiative called Radical Access ensures that performances remain available to more people through flexible admission arrangements. This program connects artistic work with an approach that removes financial barriers.
