Special 20th Anniversary events at The New Group to be announced.
The New Group is pleased to announce that productions in the company’s 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 Seasons will take place at The Pershing Square Signature Center, 480 West 42nd Street. The New Group’s Administrative Offices remain at Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd Street, where the company has presented work since 2002.
Scott Elliott, founding Artistic Director of The New Group, shares, “This 20th Anniversary season is a major milestone for the company and for me personally. I am overjoyed that some of our beloved artists are back and that we are welcoming some brilliant new ones into our family. In my case, this milestone makes me think about where The New Group has come from and our dreams for the future. The first step is to shake ourselves up. And as a result we’re moving. And we’re so lucky to be heading to The Pershing Square Signature Center. I‘ve known and loved Jim Houghton as long as I’ve been an Artistic Director and can’t wait to do our shows in his gorgeous home. The New Group aesthetic will remain the same but our surroundings will be divine.”
