THE NATIONAL THEATRE OF MATMADIA
(Production Company)
Born of Brooklyn artists Matt Phillips and Maddy Campbell as a vehicle to bring more joy and fun into the creation of theatre, TNTM is guided by a philosophy of 'Fuck yea, I can do that'. We allow our artists to be silly, stupid, and wrong with no limit to the possibilities.

IRT Theater is a grassroots laboratory for independent theater and performance in New York City, providing space and support to a new generation of artists. Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village, IRT's mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. Some of the artists we have supported include Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts and Mike Daisey.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Office of Council Member Corey Johnson and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of ART-NY.
