New Haven Theater Company is a revolutionary collective bringing the power and excitement of living performance to the New Haven community. NHTC comprises several initiatives different in form—comedy, experimental and site-specific theater, spoken word—but alike in function: the company seeks to reinvigorate and redefine theater for audiences neglected or alienated by the traditional theater establishment.
