Statement from TNW Ensemble Theater  
​June 1, 2020

In a just society-
    All people are respected
In a just society-
    All people are protected
In a just society-
    All people are treated the same way
    Under a just law
In a just society-
    No one is above the law

In a thriving community-
    All people feel welcome and valued
In a thriving community-
    All people can and do contribute
In a thriving community-
    All people can express themselves

    Go bird-watching
    Love who they love
    Feel safe where they live
    Make art


In a just society and a thriving community-
    Black lives matter
    Protest is heard
    Leaders listen to the people and respond to their needs
    Authorities honor their responsibility to the vulnerable

In a just society and a thriving community-
    We know that violence is not an answer, especially not when it comes from the government


We, the Co-producing Artistic Directors of TNW Ensemble Theater (formerly known TAPIT/new works), commit to honor and live these values, in our work and in our lives.

And we ask you to join us.

TNW Ensemble Theater

TNW Ensemble Theater (formerly known as TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater) was founded in 1985 with the twin goals of artistic innovation and community connection. We pursue these goals through creation and performance of multi-disciplinary productions, arts education, and outreach. We have developed, produced and performed 39 new plays, 15 tap and jazz music performances, and 11 works for young audiences, touring throughout the U.S. and abroad. Through short and long-term residencies, we have reached thousands of under-served arts audiences, from older adults to youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.

TNW is committed to going beyond the “One Night Only” approach to the performing arts, and we continually strive to deepen and expand the ways in which people from different backgrounds connect with our work.

Sundays on the Balcony

We're all finding new ways of doing things these days, and here at TNW Ensemble Theater (formerly known as TAPIT/new works), we're exploring a different way to give you a sneak peek at our latest production scheduled for... whenever it's possible.

Join us for a safe and socially distant parking lot preview of “A Woman Is.” Part tribute, part exorcism, this 15-minute excerpt features Kiki Moritsugu sharing show tunes and stories from her career and her larger than life mother, the Canadian actor, Jo Hutchings.

Sunday, September 13 & 20
15-minute previews at 4 pm & 5 pm
Limit of 6 attendees per show
TNW Ensemble Theater (formerly TAPIT/new works)
1957 Winnebago St., Madison, Wisconsin
