New Place Players

New York, NY, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Entertainment/Media

New Place Players is a traveling, experiential troupe which celebrates the connection of people by combining theatrical performance and dining in a unique pleasurable experience. We transform an existing space into a *new place*, where full productions of Shakespeare are performed as part of a feast at communal tables. Employing his original five-act format and the natural intervals within, the drama, music, and food are each given room to flourish. The fourth wall is gone and the action surrounds and envelops the guests, transporting them through a journey of the senses.The company is an ensemble of fifteen of the highest caliber professional Equity actors and musicians. We play in clients' homes, clubs, boardrooms, schools, places of worship, restaurants, pubs; indeed in any space where people gather to celebrate. Our audiences range in size from 20 to 75, and the food, inspired by the world of each play, ranges from an exquisite three or five-course gourmet menu with wine pairings to a hearty simple meal served family style.
