In the 2024/25 season, we’re championing the work of powerful artists who are confronting the world we live in and guiding us into the future. Their work is muscular and intimate, brimming with delight and searing questions. We look forward to sharing diverse and powerful storytelling through these productions and welcoming you to New York Theatre Workshop, where you may come for the show, but we hope you’ll stay for the conversation.
