ABOUT NEW YORK THEATRE EXPERIMENT:
New York Theatre Experiment (NYTE), founded in 2004, is dedicated to artistic exploration and innovation. Each season is guided by an "experiment," which shapes and influences the works of theatre we develop and produce, leading to an examination of the current cultural moment.
NYTE proudly serves as a creative home and developmental forum for leaders in the American theatre. We challenge artists to continually explore the creative process and offer a supportive environment for ongoing growth and development. We view each project as an experiment, an opportunity to discover new ways to bring vibrant works of theatre to full and powerful life.
NYTE is also committed to the development of the next generation of theatre artists and audiences. NYTE's unique educational programs are designed to empower and inspire, and like our productions, are intended to make theatre accessible, relevant and personal for all audiences.
