Essential Theatre Group

Specialties

Essential Theatre Group was born out of a desire to perform engaging, thought provoking and high-​quality theatre in New York. We are building a group of actors, singers, and various other theatre professionals to have a playground for artistic development and storytelling.

Essential Theatre Group…

…is an artistic community that will nurture the creative development of its members: actors, singers, writers, directors, dancers, musicians, and designers.

…will embrace a vision and enhance the development of it through conversation and collaboration.

…will seek venues that provide a more intimate setting as we strive to engage audiences with performances that are not just observed, but experienced in a visceral, challenging way.

History

Established in 2010.

Since our beginning in October of 2010, Essential Theatre Group has produced «The Last Five Years», a reading of «The Water’s Edge», the Sondheim on Sunday concert series at Caffe Vivaldi in the West Village, and 20 concerts featuring singers and songwriters with different stories to tell. In whatever we do, we promise to tell a story that will challenge and entertain the audience.
