A letter from the Executive Artistic Director

It’s hard to believe that it has only been a year since New York Theatre Barn opened in April of 2007 with Untitled 1. New York Theatre Barn has grown more than I could have anticipated this past year, and it is because of you and your support and belief in our mission that New York Theatre Barn has thrived. For that I am truly grateful, and humbled.

When Joe Barros, Producing Artistic Director, and I started NYTB a year ago we wanted to create a company that stood for the most precious and important elements of this business… ideas and the people who have them. This concept may seem obvious, but it is too often forgotten or ignored. It has been our mission to remember that success can only be achieved when the first vital steps in the creative development of an idea are nurtured and encouraged and are presented in a forum where the process is more important than the product. It has also been our goal to encourage artists to have ideas and to provide them with a safe environment in which they could explore and develop them.

Witnessing what the creative minds around us have generated and shared with us this past year has been an amazing and inspiring experience. It has been our pleasure to present some extraordinary work in varying stages of development. We have also felt validated in our mission by your response. We have encouraged everyone to take part in this collaborative and creative process by sharing your thoughts and ideas, and by developing relationships with us and with the artists. You all have embraced your role in the development of these pieces and have provided an opportunity for these plays and these artists to have a bright and successful future. For that we are grateful.

With our anniversary show, Untitled 2, comes our recommitment to you. We continue to dedicate ourselves to the development of new work, the promotion of the advancement of the individual artist, the development and strengthening of relationships in the theater community, and the education of future generations of theatre professionals. Whether in concert, reading, workshop, production or the classroom New York Theatre Barn will continue to help the theatre community move toward the future with respect for the past. You are all as much a part of New York Theatre Barn as I, so with your continued support we can continue to create special and honest work that will be around long after we have passed the torch.

I am excited about what is to come in this next year, and I am grateful that you have given us this opportunity.

Thank you,
David Rigler
Executive Artistic Director
