Education at The New Group

The New Group education programs provide opportunities for artistically inclined high school, college and adult students to experiment and take risks with forms of theatrical expression in an environment of trust and collaboration. Under the tutelage of New Group artists, students in our programs are exposed to our process by creating original works as an ensemble. Working together in diverse teams, our students channel creative impulses, develop craft, and build confidence in their artistic talent and individual worth. The New Group extends its mentoring to those whose love of the arts includes the inner workings of the theater through experiences in administration and production.
