- Biography
- The Theater for the New City is an Off-Off Broadway troupe best known for experimental theater projects and outdoor spectaculars. Founded in 1970 by Crystal Field, George Bartenieff, Theo Barnes and Lawrence Kornfeld, the Theater for the New City was based in Manhattan's West Village in its early years. Rising real estate costs forced a move to the East Village in the late 1970s, by which time the group was led by co-artistic directors Field and Bartenieff. In addition to hosting street happenings and an annual Village Halloween Costume Ball, the troupe has presented the work of such playwrights as Sam Shepard, Charles Ludlam, Maria Irene Fornes, and Richard Foreman.
