Based in New York City and guided by founder and artistic director Moisés Kaufman, Tectonic Theater Project develops new plays using the company’s trademarked theater-making method, Moment Work ™ , and through a rigorous process of research and collaboration in a laboratory environment.
Since its founding in 1991 the company has created and staged over twenty plays and musicals, including Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, The Laramie Project , Doug Wright’s Pulitzer Prize-winning I Am My Own Wife, and the Tony Award-winning 33 Variations .
From the growing demand worldwide for Moment Work ™ training, coupled with our new initiatives in local public schools and communities, the Moment Work Institute was born. The Institute is a nexus of training for artists and students alike, as well as a training ground for new teachers with a passion for taking the work to the widest possible range of storytellers—from the professional playwright to the struggling reader, from the college professor to the new immigrant.
