Welcome to the NYTW Blog—a resource for behind-the-scenes insights on our productions, share-outs from the classroom penned by teaching artists, community partner spotlights, and a peek behind the curtain to see how work gets made at NYTW.
We are starting off the 2024/25 season with a robust line up of pre-show events, post-show talkbacks, and masterclasses as part of the For The Culture series to accompany the soaring musical We Live in Cairo. Read on to get involved in the fun!
We recently sat down with Daniel & Patrick Lazour and director Taibi Magar to talk about We Live in Cairo, a project that’s been ten years in the making and will begin previews on October 9, 2024.
In the 2024/25 season, we’re championing the work of powerful artists who are confronting the world we live in and guiding us into the future. Our work is muscular and intimate, brimming with delight and searing questions.
The gods have arrived and the rain has begun to fall! We were so pumped to welcome the cast and creative team for The Half-God of Rainfall onto East 4th Street this week. This epic piece (Trust us, we’ve seen the design presentation) begins July 13!
Today, we’re excited to announce NYTW Usual Suspect and Obie Award winner Taibi Magar as the director of Hay Festival Medal for Poetry winner Inua Ellams’ The Half-God of Rainfall, coming later this season!
