New Line created a side identity in 2012 called New Line Theatre Off Line, a framework for the New Line actors to explore other music and theatre projects, including New Line's own unique brand of adult cabaret, and other kinds of performance opportunities, as well as master classes, workshops, and more. New Line actor
Mike Dowdy (Forbidden Planet, Spelling Bee, The Wild Party, Evita, Two Gentlemen of Verona, bare, Cry-Baby, High Fidelity, Bloody Bloody
Andrew Jackson) heads up the Off Line brand under his title of New Line's Associate Artistic Director.
In 2012, Off Line presented the first THAT 70s GAME SHOW! LIVE!, followed by 2013's REVENGE OF THAT 70s GAME SHOW! LIVE!
