Tisch New Theatre (TNT) is a student-led qualified tax-exempt theatre organization committed to presenting technically and ideologically ambitious work with the intent to teach, challenge, and synthesize the artistic efforts of the Tisch Community and NYU’s entire undergraduate student body.
Educating, entertaining, and empowering artistic minds for the future of the theatre industry is at the heart of our mission, exemplified in our presentation of musical theatre as a tool of storytelling. Our organization empowers its young artists to hold leadership positions with the caliber of professionalism they will possess working in the industry. TNT is also dedicated to fostering artistic growth in all NYU students, offering a safe environment for learning and personal development.
Tisch New Theatre is dedicated to making theatre that reflects the diverse student body of NYU. Our organization crafts a theatrical space to implement our artistic mission with integrity. We are committed to the promotion of equity, inclusivity, and diversity.
Our organization is intrinsically democratic. We believe that theatre is a monumental force of change, that we as artists are endowed with the responsibility of telling stories that present a fulsome and effective response to issues facing our community, and that our art belongs to both the theatre makers and the audience.
