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.
We hope you join us for our robust line-up of gatherings and events surrounding MY JOY IS HEAVY!
