At New York Theatre Workshop, we believe in showing up for what’s important: our community of artists, students and audiences.

We know that artistic development, arts education and community engagement programming is vitally important for our city, our country and our world. We strive to serve a crucial role in our neighborhood, filling the gap as critical developmental opportunities are disappearing and funding for arts education is diminishing.

Will you show up for us today so that we can keep showing up for you? Your gift of any amount now will not only help protect our existing programming but will also allow us to expand our offerings.

Thank you for being part of our vibrant community. Together, we’re making art happen.
