Manhattan Theatre Club Inc

MTC's Learning and Community Engagement programs create experiences that empower learners to engage joyfully and authentically with live theatre as authors, audience, and administrators. We connect with learners of all ages and from a wide range of communities - locally, national, and internationally - in an array of programs tailored to meet each community's learning goals and ensure informed encounters with the works on MTC stages. These include in-school playwriting and theatre preparatory residencies, student and family matinees, an internet-based distance-learning playwriting and production project, and community engagement workshops hosted in collaboration with our community partners. In addition, our robust theatre management training program cultivates the next generation of theatre professionals.

Artistic development: mtc focuses on presenting new york, american and world premieres of innovative theatre of the highest quality. Mtc's artistic development department oversees the development of new works, nurturing the growth of plays that go on to be produced at mtc and at other theatres around the country and the world. We strive to build ongoing relationships with playwrights, supporting them throughout their careers and creating an environment in which writers and theatre artists are supported by the finest professionals in every aspect of production. Mtc's artistic development program offers commissions, script evaluation, dramaturgical support, readings and workshops. This year, we have reaffirmed our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and undertaken plans to prioritize, expand, and re-envision our policies and actions. In this process, we are guided by our desire to support black, indigenous, and poc theatre-makers and to amplify their voices-a desire which has impacted our programming and artistic planning, including commissions and virtual offerings, as well as our administrative policies and initiatives regarding our staff, board of directors and producing practices, including audience development.
