Mission
Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village, IRTs mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. IRT supports independent artists through our Artist in Residency Program, and we provide access for Deaf and hard of hearing communities through our ASL Creative Department. ASL Creative provides professional arts opportunities for Deaf and hearing artists to collaborate in creating new work produced by IRT Theater. ASL Creatives education program, Westside Experiment, pairs Deaf and hearing students with a working theater company to educate young artists on how to create theater collaboratively.
