This season, New York Theatre Workshop inaugurates a new Public Program called CASEBOOK. Each season, NYTW will designate one of its productions to be a “case study,” which will allow a general audience unprecedented access to the artists involved in the creation of a new work as it is happening.
This year, the designated production is Food and Fadwa, the final production in NYTW’s 2011-2012 season.
Sessions will include conversations with the playwrights, director and designers, as well as meetings with NYTW staff members who will lead seminars in topics including casting, marketing and production. Class participants will engage with the collaborators of Food and Fadwa, as well as multiple guest artists, and will have the opportunity to observe rehearsals throughout the process and take a backstage tour. In culmination, the class will attend an early preview performance of the show and come back for Opening Night to see the final production and celebrate with the collaborators. This class is appropriate for theatre lovers of all experience levels who want a true insider’s view of the life of a theatre artist and the process of realizing a full professional production. |
