For artists, the support of New York Theatre Barn means investment in process. For audiences, we offer a glimpse inside the blueprint of an original musical being developed in real time. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Joe Barros and Managing Director Kate Trammell, we serve underrepresented artists and audiences in our commitment to anti-racist, equity, anti-ableist, and anti-oppression ideologies. With the philosophy that there is no formula for musical theatre development except authenticity, we are committed to supporting bold new voices. Our five innovative core programming platforms allow us to incubate original musicals in front of live global audiences.  We believe that art is best created in dialogue, so a large part of our process is fostering community.
