OUR MISSION
New Work for New Yorkers
Egg & Spoon develops and produces transformative new plays that celebrate, explore, and reckon with the experience of regular people. Since 2017, we’ve created intimate, humorous, and impactful theatre experiences across New York for audiences of all backgrounds—including many experiencing live theatre for the first time.
With the energy of a neighborhood block party infused with the playful spirit of an egg and spoon race, our programs bring artists and audiences together in festivity, fostering an inclusive space where creativity thrives and the power of live theatre strengthens the bonds between us.
New Work Starts Here.
WHY ARE WE CALLED EGG & SPOON?
Our mission is perfectly captured in the image of an egg and spoon race. We're cradling something delicate, focused on walking forward. And if the egg falls or breaks, we pick it up or get another. The joy that is present at block parties and field days is community-centric. It brings us together, for the sake of bringing us together. We hope that we can nurture artists and stories in a similar fashion, with care, and always with a playful spirit.
Egg & Spoon Theatre Collective is a proud member of the Alliance of Resident Theatres New York (A.R.T./NY), which is is an arts service organization dedicated to supporting New York City’s vibrant community of nonprofit theatres.
