NPTC is an award-winning, multi-racial collective performing in the heart of the Broadway Theatre District. Now beginning its ninth season, notable productions have included Richard III, starring Austin Pendleton; Exhibit #9 by Tracy Wilson (nominated for 2 Audelco Awards); Jihad by Ann Chamberlain (Winner OOBR Award for Excellence); Admissions by Tony Velella (10 Best Plays Citation, Backstage); Anatomy of a Love Affair by Deirdre Hollman (optioned by Essence Entertainment); and an innovative production of Macbeth at Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine that included an authentically prepared Medieval Banquet. The Company’s mission is to develop and produce new plays and playwrights, especially women and people of color; to present classic plays in a style that addresses contemporary issues; and to extend the benefits of theatre to young people. Our aim is not to exclude, but to cast a wider net.
