The CRY HAVOC Company, Inc., is a not-for- profit theater in New York City committed to creating raw, provocative, and humane theater by approaching all plays - both comedy and drama - as conflicts between individuals struggling to do what each desperately believes is right. Since its founding in 1997, CRY HAVOC has developed more than 750 new plays, screenplays, and musicals through its active Workshop, Lab, and Studio programs. In that time, CRY HAVOC has also brought more than fifty of these projects to the New York stage, including the world premieres of more than thirty new plays. Projects developed with CRY HAVOC have also been published, made into award-winning films, and produced in major venues in New York, across the United States, and on every continent around the world. The CRY HAVOC artistic community is comprised of more than 350 actors, writers, directors, and designers at all levels of training and professional advancement – from college students to seasoned Broadway professionals. CRY HAVOC is committed to developing the next generation of new play developers through its network of educational programming, including its highly competitive Apprentice Program, which hosts 20 graduate and undergraduate students each year from top universities. Additionally, CRY HAVOC has ongoing educational partnerships with NSKI Høyskole in Oslo, Norway, and the New School for Drama in New York City, where CRY HAVOC is Artist in Residence for the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic years.
