THE THEATRE HAS PRODUCED OVER 75 MASTER WORKS OF THEATRE, INCLUDING 33 OF SHAKEPEARE'S 37 PLAYS ALONGSIDE OTHER CLASSIC WORKS AND DISTINGUISHED CONTEMPORARY PLAYS. false false 6097526 2527574 Founded in 1979 by Jeffrey Horowitz, Theatre for a New Audience is a modern classical theatre that produces Shakespeare alongside major classic and contemporary plays with some of today's most exciting artists. Through its bold, text-based productions, the Theatre broadens cultural literacy, engages diverse audiences in masterworks that offer context and perspective to current events and contemporary life, and fulfills its mission to develop and vitalize the performance and study of Shakespeare and classic drama. The five productions in Theatre for a New Audience's critically acclaimed 2018-2019 artistic season served more than 42,000 people, engaging audiences with the contemporary significance of the classics. The Theatres arts in education programs in New York City Public Schools continued to thrive, serving students and teachers from low-income neighborhoods throughout New York City. The Theatre continued to offer free humanities events to general audiences of all ages, and the Theatres Studio program provided artists at all stages in their career with the opportunity and resources to meaningfully develop their craft. THE THEATRES 2018-2019 ARTISTIC SEASONTheatre for a New Audience's 2018-2019 season began in September 2018 with the American premiere of The Emperor, co-produced by Young Vic, HOME, and Les Thtres de la Ville de Luxembourg. Set at the brink of Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie's downfall, The Emperor explores political power. Kathryn Hunter played ten different male servants of Haile Selassie, joined by Ethiopian musician Temesgen Zeleke on stage. Ryszard Kapuscinski, who wrote the book on which the work is based, cagily used The Emperor to illuminate corruption and avarice in his native country, communist Poland. The production was seen by 3,914 audience members.Next in the season was The Prisoner, a breathtaking new international production written and directed by Peter Brook and his long-time collaborator Marie-Hlne Estienne. Co-produced by National Theatre, London; The Grotowski Institute; Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen; Yale Repertory Theatre; and Theatre for a New Audience, The Prisoner examined the complexities of crime, justice, and compassion in a breathtaking new international production. The production was seen by 4,797 audience members. The third production in the season was the world premiere of About Alice, a new two-character play based on Calvin Trillin's memoir a love letter to his wife, Alice, who died in 2001. The play begins with Alice's death, goes back in time to when the couple first met and then returns to the present. In the memoir, we experienced Alice only through Calvin (aka Bud). In the play, Alice is present in Calvin's memory and an independent character. The play was commissioned and developed in the Theatres Studio program. About Alice was seen by 5,345 audience members.A new iteration of Oregon Shakespeare Festivals acclaimed 2017 production of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare's political thriller, explored powerbrokers' strategies and their unexpected, violent consequences. Worried that Caesars ambition has grown too large, Cassius persuades his friend Brutus to help him with a momentous task: assassinate Caesar for the good of the Roman Republic. But death doesn't stop Caesar, whose spirit haunts the destinies of his friends and enemies, threatening the republican ideal for which they murdered him. The production was seen by 7,953 audience members.After its sold-out runs at Soho Rep. nd Berkeley Repertory Theatre, TFANA added Soho Rep.s production of Jackie Sibblies Drurys Fairview to its 2018-19 season. Drurys play received the 2019 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Initially scheduled to run June 2-30, 2019, the run of Fairview at Polonsky Shakespeare Center was extended twice due to popular demand before its final performances on August 11. The production was seen by 19,713 audience members. ARTS IN EDUCATIONTheatre for a New Audience considers its education programs essential to its mission. Since 1984, the programs have served more than 135,000 students, reinforcing core skills such as reading comprehension, writing and editing and are the largest in-depth arts in education programs to introduce Shakespeare, classic drama and playwriting to New York City public school students.In-School Programs: In the 2018-2019 season, the Theatres arts in education programsWorld Theatre Project (WTP) and New Voices Project (NVP) served 1,765 students and teachers in 17 schools throughout New York City.

In WTP, eight teaching artists worked with 24 classroom teachers in 43 classes in 13 schools to introduce 1,214 students to the language and themes of Shakespeares The Tragedy of Julius Caesar (some teachers had multiple classes). In NVP, three teaching artists worked with 15 classroom teachers in 20 classes at seven schools to introduce 512 students to the craft of playwriting. Throughout the program, students actively engaged in the artistic process through improvisation, dramatic exercises, and the writing and revision of original plays. National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute: For the fifth consecutive year, the Theatre was selected for a highly competitive grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in support of its Summer Institute for Teachers.

In 2018-2019, these programs included 20 TFANA Talksa post-show discussion series with the productions casts, creative teams and eminent scholars.For each production, the Theatre produced a 360 Viewfinder, a publication featuring articles on the plays history, context, and themes as well as interviews with the creative team. The 360 Viewfinder publications were available to the general public for free download from the Theatres website and sent to audience members in ticket reminder emails. THE STUDIOCoinciding with the opening of Polonsky Shakespeare Center, the Theatre launched The Merle Debuskey Studio Program in 2013. Led by Associate Producer/Director of The Studio Nidia Medina, the Studio is a program that brings the Theatres artist training and development activities under one coordinated umbrella. The program is supported by a Challenge Grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which was matched by the Booth Ferris Foundation and the estate of Merle Debuskey. The Studio provides playwrights, directors, translators, and other theatre artists with the resources to develop new projects and explore artistic approaches outside the pressures of a scheduled production.
