NYTW's 2024/25 Season Preview
NYTW Artistic Director Patrica McGregor on the upcoming season:
“In the 2024/25 season, we’re championing the work of powerful artists who are confronting the world we live in and guiding us into the future. Our work is muscular and intimate, brimming with delight and searing questions.
Our season opener, WE LIVE IN CAIRO, began development with NYTW nearly a decade ago and this new version is the culmination of years of head and heart work by Daniel & Patrick Lazour, director Taibi Magar and our team of collaborators who are wrestling with how to embody the spirit of dreaming and revolution.
Around the same time, my core collaborator Colman Domingo and I were invited to NYTW to dream up projects that could land on East 4th Street. All these years later, we’re reuniting with our musical, LIGHTS OUT: NAT “KING” COLE—an exploration of an icon that speaks to our current souls.
More recently, in 2022, NYTW Usual Suspect Oliver Butler introduced us to multi-hyphenate artist Khawla Ibraheem and her stunning piece, A KNOCK ON THE ROOF. I was floored by the journey of a mother’s Olympic dedication to caring for her family in a time of war. Over the past year, we’ve had the good fortune to collaborate with both piece by piece productions and Under the Radar as we prepared the work for production.
Our yet-to-be-announced final show will be a vivid complement to these three offerings—expanding the theatrical range and provocations offered. We look forward to sharing the diverse and powerful storytelling through these productions on East 4th Street, where you may come for the show, but we hope you’ll stay for the conversation.”
