Organization Details:
TWEED unearths raw theatrical talent and ushers it to the threshold of the main stream and often beyond focusing on work that casts an irreverent mirror on contemporary culture
Description and/or History:
TWEED TheaterWorks was founded by artistic director Kevin Malony in 1983 and has grown from tiny late night shows in East Village to full-scale productions at premier Manhattan venues. For two decades TWEED has produced innovative and unusual live theatrical work, including performance art, plays, musicals, dancetheater and category-defying extravaganzas. The TWEED New Works Festival (1985-1995) presented the early work of many of today’s recognized theater artists, including Bill Russell, Lisa Kron, (Lypsinka) Epperson and John Kelly. Other on-going endeavors include The TWEED Music Series and The TWEED Fractured Classicks Series, a popular cult phenomenon that presents staged readings of classic American plays and films employing unique casting choices.
