WELCOME TO THE NEW GROUP
Executive Director Adam Bernstein and Artistic Director Scott Elliott of The New Group.
When The Pershing Square Signature Center opened in 2012,
Signature envisioned it one day providing a home to some of
New York’s most dynamic and impactful theatre companies.
Today, Signature is thrilled to welcome The New Group to the
Center, where it will celebrate its 20th Anniversary Season with
three exciting new productions. An award-winning, artist-driven
institution, The New Group has a distinguished record of
producing contemporary, emotionally immediate works.
This season, the company will offer David Rabe’s 1971 drama Sticks
and Bones, Joel Drake Johnson’s Rasheeda Speaking, and the
world premiere of Jesse Eisenberg’s The Spoils. Signature looks
forward to having this important company around the Center.
