The New Coordinates

The New Coordinates The New Coordinates develop NEW ART and NEW ARTISTS in order to educate and build NEW AUDIENCES.

The New Coordinates produce brand new plays in a signature collaborative arrangement that we call The Process. We shepherd a script from the spark of an idea to a complete draft and often its world premiere. The Process begins with a treatment or rough outline from the playwright workshop, with a director and a group of actors attached to bring the characters to life. Improvised monologues and sce

nes help generate material, focused and guided by the director, as the playwright curates what to use and what to work on next. This exchange of ideas between a team of equally-invested artists creates vibrant, fully-realized stories that we are proud to have produced in 32 world premieres.

This decision was not an easy one, but given the financial impact of the pandemic and the rising costs of doing business, it was time.

All remaining assets have gone toward settling accounts with artists, staff, and vendors, and all future royalties will revert to their original playwrights.

For the dozens of new plays that have incubated at TNC over the last few years, we remain incredibly proud of the work, and we will always endorse and support the playwrights who shared our space.

We will maintain an online archive to serve as a record of our work and our collaborations, and the amazing things artists achieved during our tenure.

If there are any inquiries or outstanding questions, leadership will remain available via [email protected].

As an institution, we are making way for whoever and whatever comes next. But new works, and the mission, live on.

From all of us: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
