Tisch New Theatre (TNT) is a student-led not-for-profit theatre organization committed to educating, entertaining, and empowering the artistic minds NYU’s entire undergraduate student body—Tisch and beyond—for the future of the theatre industry.   

TNT is dedicated to fostering artistic growth in all undergraduate NYU students, offering a safe environment for learning and personal development. We are committed to the promotion of equity, inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility. In our presentation of musical theatre as a tool of storytelling, our organization empowers its young artists to create theatre, from production, to performance, to administration—with the caliber of professionalism they will possess working in the industry. 

In addition to giving our students the skills they need to be successful in theatre, we give them the courage to shape the theatrical infrastructure they want to take with them into the industry.

We invite students to question and reimagine the theatrical status-quo, building the industry they want to work within.

We believe that theatre is a monumental force of change. As theatre makers and artists, we choose to hold the responsibility of telling relevant and topical stories, which present and respond to issues facing our community. Tisch New Theatre believes that art belongs to both the theatre makers and the audience.

With ongoing relationships alongside Theatre Row, The SoHo Playhouse, NYU Skirball Center, NYU Grand Hall, NYU Eisner & Lubin Auditorium, TNT has presented cutting-edge productions since 2008, including No Guts No Glory, Cabaret, Spring Awakening: In Concert, Amélie, Offstage, Next to Normal, Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can, and others.
