After an extraordinary two-month run at Casa Clara in the spring of 2023, New Place Players returns to Gramercy in NYC with a new production, The Masque of Night, a selection of scenes from Romeo and Juliet, interspersed with live chamber music.
Our most recent production of Othello was a searing & intimate look at shame, manipulation and the devastation it provokes. It brought our signature dynamic interplay of music, Lecoq movement, swordplay, and language to a new level — with musicians and actors collaborating with one another to inspire an extraordinarily fresh take on Shakespeare’s powerful and timeless story.
After a successful debut at the Cradle Farm in New Hope, PA on December 10th 2017, New Place Players continued a full run of the play in NYC, from April to June at the 3 West Club and the historic Players on Gramercy Park South in NYC.
This immersive production, staged by master Lecoq movement director Richard Crawford (Cirque du Soleil, War Horse), was presented simultaneously with a gourmet feast in three courses including hors d’oeuvres and wine pairings inspired by the world of the play.
The critically acclaimed production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by OBIE winner James Ortiz (The Woodsman) enveloped private audiences while they savored a 5-course feast inspired by the world of the play.
With the magic of LED puppetry, the highest caliber Equity actors and musicians, the guests were guided through a journey of the senses.
Midsummer performed throughout 2014-15, at Casa Dusa, Villa Lewaro, in Bucks County and at the Players Club in NYC.
For its debut, New Place Players staged a production of Twelfth Night in the sumptuous living room of the historic Casa Duse residence in Park Slope, Brooklyn and had a run throughout 2013 in homes all over NYC.
The productions were a harmonious blend of music, lighting, theatre, food and drink, amounting to a communal atmosphere that harks back to the experience of catching a theatre performance in Elizabethan times.
