About New City Stage Company

Mission

New City Stage Company is dedicated to presenting high quality professional theatre that engages audiences on a variety of levels; not only entertaining them but also encouraging awareness of issues relevant to the community. We draw our season from contemporary and classical works, with a special focus on including Philadelphia premiers from playwrights whose work and stories are not normally found in the region.

Description

New City Stage Company is a 501(c)3 not for profit producing company that employs both union and nonunion actors, directors, and crew.

We commission and create fully mounted productions of plays that come from a variety of sources – classical works, contemporary plays, reader’s theatre, literature, film, and works-in-progress.
We start the employment process in the region first, in order to utilize many of our local artists and technicians.

We strive to bring as many Philadelphia and World premiers to the stage as possible, as well as presenting well known pieces in ways that are unexpected, unique, or nontraditional.

Our productions are accessible to many facets of the community, with a special emphasis on bringing schools and universities in contact with our work.

New City Stage Company proudly participates in the Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre, Philadelphia’s premiere professional theatre awards.
