PTP/NYC is an Off-Broadway powerhouse of veteran and emerging talent creating socially and politically acute theatre for the 21st century. In its 27 seasons, the voices of PTP/NYC’s writers have addressed the necessity and difficulty of art, homelessness, censorship, pornography, AIDS, totalitarianism, apartheid and gender wars—always in passionate, deeply human terms. Playwrights whose work is often seen on the company’s stages include Howard Barker, Caryl Churchill, Harold Pinter and Neal Bell.
PTP/NYC offers an annual five-week repertory season encompassing 2-3 full productions, readings and a variety of complementary events.
The company was founded in 1987 by Co-Artistic Directors Cheryl Faraone, Richard Romagnoli, and Jim Petosa—three theatre visionaries determined to establish a dynamic and provocative company that would also provide a bridge to professional theatre for aspiring young students. That same year, Faraone and Romagnoli joined the faculty at Middlebury College, where the work of the company was immediately embraced and supported. Comprised of New York professionals along with Middlebury College students and recent grads, PTP/NYC convenes every summer on Middlebury’s campus to begin its rehearsal process before moving to New York for the five-week season.
