New York Theatre Workshop (New York). Founded in 1979, the company (located in a 188‐seat East Village space) was first noticed when it presented a British production of Mad Forest (1991) and found nationwide acclaim when it premiered Rent (1996). The theatre group is dedicated to new works (though unusual revivals have been seen there) and offers readings and residencies in addition to its fully staged productions. Some offerings became well known by their controversial nature, such as Quills (1995) and Shopping and Fucking (1998), while Rent and Dirty Blonde (2000) were mainstream hits that transferred to Broadway.
