New York Theatre Company Takes Performance Off the Stage and Into the Streets

Step behind the scenes of the innovative New York Theatre Company with Katherine Winter, Josh Zacher, and John Kroft—the creative team behind their latest groundbreaking production, the immersive outdoor dance experience The Circuit. Katherine draws inspiration from classic Hollywood and Barbra Streisand as well as her Toronto theater roots. Josh believes movement is the heartbeat of storytelling, and John has learned to navigate the highs and lows of the industry—like being fired from a dream job. The trio also share candid stories about guerrilla theater, crowd-wrangling challenges, silent disco technology, and the drive to make NYC itself a living, breathing scene partner. Hear firsthand how these young artists are redefining the boundaries of live performance, even amidst pandemic setbacks and personal setbacks from lost agents to creative differences. Whether you're a Broadway fan, aspiring artist, or looking for new things to do in New York City, this episode is packed with practical insights on building community, producing immersive theater, and pushing art outside the box. It's an inspiring look at what it takes to make theater—and the lessons learned when things don't go as planned.
