Theatre 4the People

Authentic. Original. Accessible.

Theatre 4the People is a Non Profit company, run by a Co-Op of artists dedicated to:

  • Nurturing and supporting a truly diverse range of emerging and established theatre artists—giving voice to new stories;

  • Ensuring that theatre is accessible to all people, regardless of background or economic status.

T4tP has three primary initiatives to fulfill these goals:

  • Fully Produced New Plays

  • Artists@theBarn

  • New Work Series

T4tP has been producing award winning, critically acclaimed theatre since 2010.

We always have low ticket prices and Pay What You Can options to make sure everything we do is economically accessible to everyone.

What Critics Are Saying

“Wrenching and visually eloquent”

—NY Times

““Attention must be paid. Theatre 4the People is offering several pay-what-you-can options for audiences, and I’d advise taking advantage of it. There are real treasures to be found here.”

— Garden State Journal

“This is a company that knows how to use their resources. This is a piece of theatre that represents intelligent and focused artists whose work is as good as any off-broadway house, and is really a gift to the community, done for love of the art”

— NY Theatre Review

“This company is worth keeping an eye on.  Be sure to check them out!”

— More than the Play
