New Light Theater Project (NLTP) nurtures a Collective of artist-practitioners through the presentation of compelling stories across theatrical genres.
Led by Artistic Director Sarah Norris and Producing Director Michael Aguirre, NLTP believes in the strength of ensemble-work and fostering our Collective composed of writers, actors, directors, stage managers, and designers from diverse backgrounds. At least 50% of NLTP productions utilize our Collective while the rest of the production team consists of innovative artists that we hope to
cultivate deeper relationships with. We are committed to providing sustained opportunities for our Collective. What started as a weekly Sunday gathering of friends over pancakes, coffee, and plays has evolved into a company of artists who care about the work we are contributing to the theatrical make-up of New York City, and ultimately, seek to ensure a work environment that encompasses a communal spirit. NLTP is a company of and for the community, committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Accessibility (IDEA). We believe that engaging in the arts is crucial to the human experience, therefore, we will continue to support artist participation and audience engagement by breaking down barriers based on race, gender, ability, and economics that get in the way of opportunity and attendance. Amplifying voices that have been historically under-represented and under-resourced by the field will be centered in our organization as we continue to grow.
