Indie Theater Now
our latest endeavor here at NYTE – a new website that people are
calling “iTunes for plays†that we launched on August 7th.
Indie Theater Now
is the digital library for the 21st century – an online resource where
folks can discover, explore, and read new contemporary plays from the
world of indie theater. The website contains lots of free content about
the plays and playwrights who are published there, including an excerpt
of every play in our online “library.†Users can buy copies of digital
plays for just $1.29, and they can purchase multi-play subscription
packs at a lower per-play price. Users read the plays on a proprietary
Flash-based reader that enables them to access the scripts they’ve
bought on virtually any desktop or laptop computer (and most Android
devices as well) with an internet connection.

New York State Council On The Arts Theatre Program - Report On The
Status Of Women: A Limited Engagement? The initiative produced
a body of invaluable historical, anecdotal and statistical information
on the ways in which women have confronted, overcome and continue to
face discrimination in the field. The panels also produced a series of
recommendations both to monitor and to assist women in theatre. Since
its release several years ago, NYTE has been a repository for this
report. For an e-mail copy of the report write to:
