Mission:

New Worlds Theatre Project was founded in 2005 to give voice to the extraordinary legacy of Yiddish culture by making early 20th century Yiddish plays accessible to contemporary artists and audiences in modern English adaptations. Exploring the human condition through the eyes of young, Jewish playwrights questioning their faith and their role in the universe, the plays reflect a tension between tradition and modernity that will continue to speak to diverse artists and audiences for generations to come.
