The revolution is here, and you can be a part of it! Join us for WE LIVE IN CAIRO now at NYTW, and take a look at our study guide created by our Education department. As part of the Learning Workshop program, our teaching artists have started visiting our partner schools, using the study guide to help today’s students find parallels between themselves and the young activists they will see onstage during the student matinee.

It’s the best time of year – Casebook season! If you don’t already know about Casebook, you’re in luck – because this post is all about it!

Casebook is one of our show-specific education offerings. Through Casebook, audience members are given a behind-the-scenes look at how a production comes together at NYTW. NYTW designates one show per season as a case study and hosts a 7-week class designed to provide theatre lovers with a true insider’s view of the development process, including insights into budgeting, artistic and design decisions, and how a show might change from the final dress rehearsal to opening night.
