New York Theatre Workshop

Founded in 1979, the New York Theatre Workshop works with emerging directors eager to take on challenging pieces. Besides plays by world-class artists like Caryl Churchill (Far Away, A Number) and Tony Kushner (Homebody/Kabul), this company also premiered Rent, Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize–winning musical. The iconoclastic Flemish director Ivo van Hove has made the NYTW his New York pied-à-terre.
