THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY was founded in 1970 by Crystal Field to realize
clear purposes and goals:
-To embody the vision of a center for new and innovative theater arts that would be truly accessible to the community and its experimental theater artists.
-To discover relevant new writing and to nurture new playwrights.
-To be a bridge between playwright, experimental theater artist, and the ever growing audiences in the community.
-To create spaces where a new vision can breathe and be nourished by a working process not subject to commercial constraints and pressures.
-To create events and ways in which to bring theater into the community and bring the community into the theater.
Now in its 45th year, THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY is a unique Cultural Institution that has earned a nationwide reputation for its dedication to nurturing established and emerging playwrights who experiment with new forms and to presenting other experimental and developmental theaters with a very active program of Community Art Services and Festivals, which continue to expand theater accessibility.
