MORE ABOUT NXT GENERATION THEATRICS

Nxt Generation Theatrics (NGT) is a groundbreaking non-profit theatre company run entirely by teenagers. Founded to empower the next generation of theatre-makers, NGT provides young artists with hands-on experience by entrusting teens with every aspect of production — from direction and design to performance and management.

With a mission to showcase what teens are truly capable of, NGT selects bold, challenging works that defy expectations. The company made its debut in 2022 with a sold-out Off-Broadway production of Next to Normal. This was followed by the Tony-nominated musical Violet in 2023, which earned eight BroadwayWorld Off-Broadway Award nominations and a win for Best Lighting Design. In 2024, NGT staged Fun Home, the Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award-winning musical.

During the COVID-19 shutdown, NGT also produced two acclaimed virtual concerts — NGT Winter Concert and NGT Rocks — continuing to spotlight exceptional young talent even in a remote format.
