Donate to NY Neo

We are excited to announce our next major project: a remount of our popular Twelfth Night, originally produced in April 2008 to sold-out audiences.  We have secured the Kirk Theatre in the historic Theatre Row Complex on 42nd Street for a three-week run beginning January 8, 2009.  This is a tremendous opportunity for us to put New York Neo-Classical on the map and to share our work with a wider audience. 

 Of course, such an opportunity does not come without its costs: In the next two and a half months we seek to raise the $18,000 necessary to produce Twelfth Night. As a young nonprofit we rely on the generosity of individual donors and we are graciously asking for your help in this endeavor. We hope that you, as a patron of the arts, will consider making a donation to the New York Neo-Classical Ensemble. 

The New York Neo-Classical Ensemble is a not for profit theater company devoted to creating defiantly theatrical, textually dynamic productions of classic plays.  We are a diverse group of multidisciplinary artists united by a common process, and we aim to revive the belief that the spoken word - made physical, immediate and active - can change the world around us.
 We endeavor to explore how collaborations with innovative directors, designers, choreographers and composers elucidate classic plays for the current generation of theatre artists and audiences.

Our work has spanned the entirety of Shakespeare's career, from our inaugural project, Love's Labor's Lost at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in 2006, thru A Midsummer Night's Dream (Times Square Arts Center, '07; La Plaza Cultural, '08), Cymbeline (Baryshnikov '07), Twelfth Night (The Wild Project, '08), and Pericles (Summer Workshop, '08).
