Who We Are
Who We Are
NWTW is a new works theater company dedicated to the art, study, innovation, and practice of creating, developing, and producing new theatrical works. We believe that engaging audiences and sharing story and conceptual-based work through theater has the power to change the world by broadening our perspectives and deepening our connections to others.
Our beliefs are manifested through programs that create opportunities for dramatists, theatre artists, and community members to take risks, better their craft, express their vision, and share and discuss the impact of the stories and concept-based theatrical works that have been inspired, created, and developed here in our community. We encourage and support people from all walks of life, all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, new voices and experienced ones, to participate. By engaging audiences with as many local voices as possible, we empower live theatre as an active and timely cultural force in our city and inspire a more compassionate and inclusive community.
What We Do
What We Do
Since 2015, NWTW has built a community around the creation, development, and production of new theatrical work by giving dramatists, theatre artists, and patrons a place to gather and immerse themselves in a community that shares a love for the great performative and literary traditions of the theatre.
Our community programming offers free networking events and workshops for Portland’s local dramatists and theatre artists.
We take process seriously. We’re constantly innovating: developing and testing new approaches to theatre-making, and sharing what we’ve learned through articles on our blog.
For our resident dramatists and theatre artists, we develop and produce new plays, musicals and devised works.
Our audience enjoys a variety of different types of original theatrical productions, from site-specific devised plays and musicals, to immersive theatre, to traditional productions. They also participate in stimulating community dialogues around potent issues raised by the work we produce and enjoy articles on how we create, develop, and produce that work.
