Welcome to the NYTW Blog—a resource for behind-the-scenes insights on our productions, share-outs from the classroom penned by teaching artists, community partner spotlights, and a peek behind the curtain to see how work gets made at NYTW.

Tartuffe FTC Events

All the fun of TARTUFFE didn’t just happen onstage! Look back at our line-up of For the Culture events that NYTW Education & Engagement hosted throughout the nine week run of the show. From seven meaningful post-show conversations to four large events and collaborations with eight community partners, we had a blast connecting with artists and community members around the show.

Meet Our Neighbors: Rod Rodgers Dance Company & Rachel Lubell

For those who have never been to E 4th St, the city’s famous “Fourth Arts Block,” tucked amidst a handful of theatres and shops sits Rod Rodgers Dance Company (RRDC). Founded in the 1960s by esteemed dancer and teacher Rod Rodgers, the legacy of the company’s founder is carried on by its current dancers and leadership, including Artistic Director Kim Grier-Martinez and General Manager Rachel Lubell, the latter of whom told me her story as part of the company on a busy Thursday this fall.

Class is in Session: Casebook Participants on the Making of TARTUFFE

Our Casebook program pulls back the curtain on one show in the Workshop’s season each year, and this year, participants spent eight weeks taking a behind-the-scenes look at the making of TARTUFFE. From conversations with the generative artists to sitting in on tech rehearsal, Casebook participants (or “Casebookers”) learned all about what goes into taking a new work from page to stage at an Off-Broadway theatre company. NYTW Education & Engagement Associate Marty Chandler chatted with a few Casebookers to recap what Casebook covered this year and hear about their experience in the program. Let’s hear what they had to say!

Tartuffe Study Guide

Before seeing TARTUFFE at the Workshop, we recommend that you pop
over to “The Brief” Study Guide, where you’ll learn from all that’s inside
about topics like comedy and farce, themes of hypocrisy, and even could parse
through the difference between rhymes made by Lucas Hnath and Moliére.
Whether a student or curious theatregoer, we’re excited to share
this knowledge about the show—and then see you there!

Tartuffe For the Culture Community Partners

TARTUFFE is about to take the stage at the Workshop, and the Education & Engagement Team has partnered with eight different organizations to engage with the play’s themes of faith, storytelling, and community. From the Workshop’s long-time neighbors to artistic communities from across the city, these partners are actively working to bring people together to make art and celebrate identity. We encourage you to join us for one of our For the Culture events, meet our partners, and continue learning more about them below!
