Theatre for a New Audience

Company Information


THEATRE FOR A NEW AUDIENCE Founded in 1979 by Jeffrey Horowitz, Theatre for a New Audience (TFANA) helps develop and vitalize the performance and study of Shakespeare and classic drama. The company aims to find the contemporary heart of the classics and has continually produced Shakespeare, classics and modern classics by authors such as Edward Bond, Carlo Gozzi and Granville Barker. At TFANA, Shakespeare meets Julie Taymor and Sir Peter Hall and American and European artists interact, workshop, teach and direct. The Theatre is also committed to the next wave of American classical artists and supports the American Directors Project, a mentoring program led by Cicely Berry. The company's productions and affiliated artists have been honored with prestigious awards and nominations such as Drama Desk, Lortel, Obie and the Tony. Its production of the 18th Century Italian comedy, The Green Bird by Carlo Gozzi, directed by Julie Taymor, moved to Broadway. In 1994, Julie Taymor directed Titus Andronicus Off-Broadway for TFANA. Recently, Taymor directed Titus, a major film starring Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange. This November, Theatre for a New Audience became the first American theatre to be invited to bring a production of Shakespeare to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Cymbeline, directed by Bartlett Sher, premiered at the RSC's The Other Place Theatre, November 19-December 8, 2001.
