AMIOS THEATRE COMPANY (an acronym inspired from the Oscar Wilde quote: "we have art and music in our souls") was founded in 2009 by alumni of The National Theatre Conservatory with a simple mission in mind: to constantly create new work. Work that engages the artists in a process that is immediate, inspired, personal, organic, and which injects vitality into this scene we call theatre. Art and music in our souls.

HORSE TRADE THEATER GROUP is a self-sustaining theater development group; with a focus on new work, it has produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater. Horse Trade's Resident Artist Program offers a home to a select group of Independent Theater artists, pooling together a great deal of talent and energy. It is also the home of FRIGID New York - the first and only festival of its kind in New York City.
