NEW GEORGES
New Georges has premiered 35 new full-length plays and 11 festivals of new work; hundreds of original works have passed through New Georges' workspace, The Room, on their way to venues in New York City and beyond. Their production of Eisa Davis’ Angela’s Mixtape was one of The New Yorker’s “Best Off-Broadway Shows of 2009;” and Jenny Schwartz’s God’s Ear was a Time Out New York “Top Ten of 2007” and transferred to the Vineyard Theatre in 2008. Plays premiered at New Georges have been published by Faber & Faber, Samuel French, Dramatists Play Service, Playscripts, Smith & Kraus, Seagull Books and Vintage, and have received Susan Smith Blackburn and Kesselring Prizes. In addition, New Georges produced early works by many notable playwrights, including Lisa D’Amour, Tracey Scott Wilson, Diana Son, Cusi Cram, Sheila Callaghan, Heidi Schreck, Leigh Fondakowski, Catherine Filloux, Kate Moira Ryan and Carson Kreitzer. Honors include an OBIE Award as well as awards from New York Women's Agenda, Princess Grace Foundation/USA, Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation, Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays and FringeNYC. In 2009, The L Magazine named New Georges among its “Best of NYC;” and in a study published by TDF, OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE: The Life and Times of the New American Play, New Georges is named one of the top 10 theaters nationwide by playwrights as a leading producer of their plays.
