About The Barrow Group
TBG’s mission is to combine unpredictable, spontaneous acting with well-crafted stories that address social, spiritual, and political issues – to create an immediate, authentic connection between actors, audiences, and the writing.
TBG is dedicated to New Play Development through its Artist Residency Program, which empowers artists by providing resources they need to more fully produce a reading, scene sharing, or small production, through F.A.B. Women, a women’s development company under the umbrella of TBG made up of female+ writers, actors, and directors, and through its ongoing in-house Developmental Reading Series, which has spawned a number of off-Broadway and Broadway plays including: The Tricky Part and All the Rage by Martin Moran, Sleepwalk with Me and My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend by Mike Birbiglia, A Steady Rain by Keith Huff and Honey Brown Eyes by Stefanie Zadravec.
TBG also partners with The Cooke School on their “Cooke Transitions” program, which supports neurodivergent students and students who have mild to moderate cognitive or developmental disabilities to round out their academic, social, and life skills as they transition from high school to adulthood.
In the heart of New York City, TBG operates a 19,000 square foot arts center comprised of a 60-seat Studio Theater and many teaching studios. To date, TBG has served hundreds of thousands of New York City audience members with its productions, thousands of artists with its developmental programming, and tens of thousands of students with its training. TBG has received Drama Desk and OBIE awards, and alumni have won Academy, Emmy, Tony, and Lucille Lortel awards. TBG’s vision is to be the international epicenter for audiences hungry for storytelling that is intimate, real, and spontaneous, helping people to connect with their humanity.
