The New Group is an artist-driven company with a commitment to developing and producing powerful, contemporary theater. While constantly evolving, we maintain an ensemble approach to all our work and an articulated style of emotional immediacy in our acting and productions. In this way, we seek a theater that is adventurous, stimulating and most importantly "now" — a true forum for the present culture.

The New Group's past productions have also received awards including Best New Musical, and the Calloway, Kalbie, Taking Off, and Theatre World Awards. This season, The New Group is excited to bring you the World Premiere of Kenneth Lonergan's The Starry Messenger, featuring Matthew Broderick, followed by Ethan Hawke directing a revival of Sam Shepard's A Lie of the Mind and the new musical The Kid, based on the book by Dan Savage.

The New Group is run by founding Artistic Director, Scott Elliott, and Executive Director, Geoff Rich.
