Ars Nova gets to know a wide range of artists each year by inviting them into our home and giving them free reign of our toys. See who’s caught our eye in these one-night-only performances!
Our untamed monthly variety-show-meets-party is guest-hosted by one of our favorite comedians and features a who’s-who of the weird and wonderful — performing comedy to burlesque and everything (and anything) in between.
Our annual festival of All New Talent is designed to showcase the next wave of pioneering theater, comedy, music and hybrid theater-makers who fill our stage with their most dynamic ideas.
A vibrant group of resident playwrights, Play Group gathers biweekly to share new work and get peer feedback, concluding their residences with free-to-the-public Out Loud readings.
Makers Lab features a dynamic group of generative theater artists, each with individually tailored residencies designed to holistically support their careers and develop their new works.
CAMP provides an eclectic group of creators with peer support and artistic feedback as they develop a new comedic work, culminating with a premiere on Ars Nova Supra.
Designed to create more equitable and power-sharing curatorial practices, Ars Nova’s new Vision Residency invites artist-curators to create, develop and present their own work and work by artists they are inspired by or wish to amplify.
Ars Nova provides holistic support to devised companies through residencies that are flexibly and individually tailored, and can include concerts, workshops, stipends, dramaturgical support, retreats and more.
We commission and develop new work with an eye for artists who work with nontraditional creative processes and projects that combine multiple disciplines.
Each season, we produce two world premiere, Off-Broadway productions of original, innovative projects that have been radically supported through our development programs.
Ars Nova is committed to launching our artists just as far and wide as their big ideas can take them—including Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 on Broadway; the international tour of Underground Railroad Game; and the upcoming Broadway production of KPOP.
