FOUNDED IN 1985, WORKING THEATER EXISTS TO CREATE THEATER SPECIFICALLY FOR, ABOUT AND WITH WORKING PEOPLE, A COMMUNITY THAT MAKES UP THE MAJORITY OF THE OVERALL METROPOLITAN WORKFORCE. WE BELIEVE THEATER SHOULD NOT BE A LUXURY. WE MAKE OUR PRODUCTIONS RELEVANT, ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE TO ALL REGARDLESS OF GEOGRAPHY OR SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS. THROUGH TICKET SUBSIDIES, AN ACTIVE COMMISSIONING PROGRAM, A SUCCESSFUL GRASSROOTS AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND A PIONEERING ARTS-IN-EDUCATION PROGRAM, OUR AUDIENCE REFLECTS THE FULL DIVERSITY OF NEW YORK.
