New Audiences, Old Theatre
Theatre for a New Audience was established in 1979 by Jeffrey Horowitz. The goal? To keep Shakespeare alive! Figuratively, of course; otherwise, this would be a whole other post.
TFANA presents Shakespeare and other Classic dramas off-Broadway and on tour internationally and nationally. In the city, some performances are at The Duke on West 42nd Street between 6th and 7th Aves. Also, Cherry Lane Theatre on Commerce Street and 7th Ave hosts performances.
The 2007-8 season is: Africa, Europe, America: Exploring the Connections. This season present three main plays:
Ohio State Murders, by Adrienne Kennedy, October 27-November 18 2007
Oroonoko, by Aphra Behn, adapted by Biyi Bendele, February 2-March 9 2008
Antony and Cleopatra, by William Shakespeare, March 22-May 2 2008
TFANA also hosts a reading series called Literary Supplement:
Tower of Evil, by Michael Feingold, January 28 2008
The Self-Tormentor, by Terence, March 10, 2008
The Swamp Dwellers, by Wole Soyinka, April 14, 2008
