Description
"Theatre for a New Audience has become the first American theater company to be invited to present a production of Shakespeare at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-on-Avon, England." - The New York Times
Founded in 1979 by Jeffrey Horowitz, the mission of Theatre for a New Audience is to help develop and vitalize the performance and study of Shakespeare and classic drama. Theatre for a New Audience produces for audiences Off-Broadway and has also toured nationally and internationally.
Theatre for a New Audience finds the contemporary heart of the classics. A reverence for language, spirit of adventure and visual boldness, which supports the work of the writer and actor, mark the Theatre's productions. The Theatre nurtures relationships with some of the finest American and European directors, actors, designers and composers. Julie Taymor (Tony Award-winning director of The Lion King), Sir Peter Hall (founder, Royal Shakespeare Company), Mark Rylance (Artistic Director, London’s Globe), Robert Woodruff (Artistic Director, American Repertory Theatre), Karin Coonrod (Director) and Bartlett Sher (Artistic Director, Intiman Theatre) are among major artists who maintain ongoing affiliations with the company.
