About NYTE Small Press
NYTE Small Press is a program of The New York Theatre Experience, Inc., (NYTE) a nonprofit corporation.
It was launched in February, 2000, with publication of Plays and Playwrights for the New Millennium (now out of print). NYTE embarked on this program so as to extend its mission by publishing a yearly anthology of plays by emerging playwrights. In 2003 the Library of Congress designated Plays and Playwrights as a serial publication issuing ISSN 1546-1319 for all future volumes.
In 2006 an additional volume was published, Playing With Canons: Explosive New Works from Great Literature by America's Indie Playwrights. These volumes contain 127 original plays by 144 different playwrights. Most important, about half of the plays we have published have gone on to new productions as a direct result of publication—in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, London, Edinburgh, Israel, and even as far away as Australia and New Zealand. Three of the plays have been filmed and seen on the indie circuit. In almost every case, these productions earned their playwrights cash royalties for the first time in their careers.
The goals of NYTE Small Press are:
- To encourage productions of these plays outside New York City
- To enhance the reputations and foster the professional development of the playwrights
- To contribute to the published base of American dramatic literature to advance the crafts of playwriting and theatre
