Leading national theater organization, (NYTW), has a long history of fruitful collaboration with the (Adelphi PAC). This summer, Adelphi hosted the workshop鈥檚 sixth summer residency from June 5-18, where 11 students from the gained a significant edge in the world of theatrical project development.

Adelphi students work with artists from the New York Theatre Workshop as part of their developmental residency.

Founded in 1979, NYTW鈥檚 productions have received a Pulitzer Prize, 17 Tony Awards and assorted Obie, Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel Awards. They work with more than 1,800 artists annually and have developed hundreds of productions including Adelphi alumnus Jonathan Larson’s Rent, Doug Wright’s Quills and Martha Clarke鈥檚 Vienna: Lusthaus. Emerging playwrights, actors, dramaturgs and more have gained success through NYTW鈥檚 Artist Workshop activities, including participating in residency programs as fellows.

During the course of the residency, students and NYTW fellows worked on projects that were shared at the end of the residency as work-in-progress readings. Students were able to make connections with the artists, observe new ways to develop art, refine acting techniques, complete historical research and learn new theater terms and procedures. Though their responsibility was to assist the residency, collaboration played a key role in the experience.

鈥淭he first day we sat down, and all the actors read the play, they asked us what we thought. We were able to contribute, which we didn鈥檛 expect and they were receptive to it,鈥� said Harper LaBrozzi 鈥�20, one of the student interns. 鈥淚t was truly 鈥楬ey really, what do you think of this?鈥� and that was something you do not get everywhere.鈥�

Some students enjoyed the program so much that they decided to participate for a second year.

鈥淲ell coincidentally, the first time I saw a show at NYTW, which was my freshman year here, I immediately thought 鈥業 would love to do a show there,鈥欌�� said Joanna Georghiou 鈥�20, who described the experience as one to help students reach their future goals.鈥淭hat鈥檚 a goal for myself, to be cast in a show at the Workshop. I feel like I鈥檓 closer to that now because I鈥檝e done this twice and I鈥檓 getting to know the people who work there and see how they run which is amazing.鈥�

The NYTW guest artists were eager to participate in the program and work with the students. One of the artists, Amauta Marston-Fermino, described the program as refreshing because groups of people come together to focus on creating art. Other artists agreed that the program will have a lasting effect. 鈥淚f any one of these students were like 鈥楬ey I鈥檓 moving to New York, do you know anyone? Can you help me find an apartment? Can you put me in touch with who you know at X Y Z?鈥� I would be glad to do it,鈥� said Ato Blankson-Wood, another guest artist.

The program began as an initiative led by the . Over the past six years, the program has extended its residency at Adelphi to provide more time for collaboration.

鈥淚t’s a tremendous opportunity for us to bring artists outside of New York City and work within Adelphi’s space aided by the theater students,鈥� said Artistic Producing Associate, Rachel Silverman from NYTW. 鈥淚t is very meaningful to us and to the artists we bring up to be able to work in such great facilities and be taken such good care of. One of my favorite parts is seeing how much work is always accomplished within each residency, and to see how the resources at Adelphi have helped to develop the piece in ways it may not have gone had we been working elsewhere.鈥�
