Poetic Theater Productions

Poetic Theater Productions (Jeremy Karafin Artistic Director) is an award-winning New York City theater company committed to working with poets and playwrights to create a visceral, poetic theater that addresses important social justice causes within our communities and society. Highlights include productions of Goliath, faith, Underground, Foreign Bodies and our annual Poetic License Festival. Through readings, workshops, full productions, one night special events, panels and an annual festival, Poetic Theater Productions supports a diverse community of artists working in the mediums of poetry and theater who use tropes of modern culture in order to provide a relevant and accessible experience to its audiences. An essential part of the Poetic Theater Productions mission is to develop, produce and promote theatrical works that celebrate diversity of storytelling and historical background, culture and social justice. www.poetictheater.com Mission: Poetic Theater Productions seeks to define the modern genre of “poetic theater” by connecting and fostering a community of artists who are passionately creating relevant and accessible work and reinvigorating a conscious theater of language. Through a multi-runged platform of developmental programming, Poetic Theater Productions offers resources and opportunities for poets, playwrights, and theater artists to develop new work and see it through to production. PTP seeks out and creates opportunities to connect with communities affected by the issues of topic within our productions, in NYC and nationwide, through collaborative projects and exchanges of art and ideas.
