New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) has announced its 2024-2025 class of 2050 Administrative and Artistic Fellows. The 2050 Fellowship, named in celebration of the U.S. Census Bureau's projection that by the year 2050 there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the U.S., promotes pushing boundaries and encouraging transformation in theatre.
The 2024-2025 Artistic Fellows are Nikki Massoud, Derick Edgren Otero, Andres Santiago Piña, Danica Selem, and Christie Zhao. NYTW Artistic Programs Manager Leo Angulo and Literary Manager Salma S. Zohdi will lead the cohort. The Administrative Fellows are Marty Chandler, Salwa Meghjee, Shania Benjamin, and Tyra Mishell.
The Artistic Fellows gather monthly with artists from the NYTW community to discuss craft, aesthetics, and artistic development. Each will receive a stipend and an artistic development fund, as well as access to rehearsal space and opportunities to share works-in-progress, among other opportunities. The program is supported in part by The New York Community Trust Van Leir Fellowship program.
The Administrative Fellowship, established in place of NYTW's internship program, allows emerging theatre makers to explore different paths, including playwriting, directing, designing, and administration. The program is partially supported with funds from the Axe-Houghton Foundation.
