We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Yale Center for New Theatre

PRESS & PUBLICITY  PRODUCTIONS  INFORMATION


Established in 2008, the Yale Center for New Theatre is an artist-driven initiative that devotes major resources to the commissioning, development, and production of new plays and musicals at Yale Rep and across the country. A key component of the Center's work is the support of productions of Yale-commissioned works at theatres other than Yale Rep. The Center also facilitates residencies of playwrights and composers at Yale School of Drama.

To date, the Yale Center for New Theatre has supported the work of more than thirty commissioned artists as well as the world premieres and subsequent productions of nine new American plays and musicals—including this season's Belleville by Amy Herzog, Good Goods by Christina Anderson, and The Realistic Joneses by Will Eno.

Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground, adapted by Bill Camp and Robert Woodruff, was the first commissioned play supported by the Center to receive its world premiere at Yale Rep. In 2010, Notes had its West Coast premiere at La Jolla Playhouse and its New York premiere at Theatre for a New Audience, in association with the Baryshnikov Arts Center. The Center also supported the world premiere co-production of Rinne Groff's Compulsion at Yale Rep, Berkeley Rep, and The Public Theater—as well as the world premiere of the Yale-commissioned On the Levee by Marcus Gardley, Todd Almond, and Lear deBessonet at Lincoln Center Theater's LCT3.

The Yale Center for New Theatre was established in 2008 with a grant from the Robina Foundation. The Center is operated with funds from the Robina Foundation and with significant support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
