Playwrights Horizons Theater School
Playwrights Horizons Theater School is one of ten studios that make up the Tisch School of the Arts Undergraduate Department of Drama at New York University.[1] It serves as the educational wing of prominent off-broadway theater company Playwrights Horizons.[2]
History
The theater school was founded in 1983 when New York University approached then Playwrights Horizons artistic director Andre Bishop in an effort to expand its educational offering to include the training of directors, stage managers, and playwrights.[3][4]
The program has since expanded its training programs to include acting, musical performance, dramaturgy, design and producing, making it one of the few undergraduate interdisciplinary theater training programs in the country, and amongst a smaller list of undergraduate theater programs that offer directing training.[5][6]
