Listings of Productions, Playwrights, and Directors are now reasonably complete. Because of COVID we don't currently have access to some internal records, and others that have been donated to the NY Public Library. We hope to gain access to them soon.

Many productions, mostly from the 1970s and early 1980s, are missing credits for actors, designers, and stage crew. If you have information that can help, please let us know. Similarly, if you find errors or problems on the site, please contact us.

Amazon Smile will donate to NFT while you shop, for free!

Amazon Smile is a program where Amazon contributes 0.5% of your purchases to your favorite charity. The program is completely free to you. Items purchased under Amazon Smile cost exactly the same as on Amazon.com, though a few items are excluded from the program.

To make it work, you have to sign up for Amazon Smile and designate New Federal Theatre as your preferred charity. Then, every six months, you’ll need to renew your commitment.

Finally, depending on how you shop on Amazon, you’ll need to do one of the following:

  • If you shop using a web browser, just log into smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. Your account information, shopping cart, preferences, etc, will all carry forward without any change.
  • If you shop using the Amazon app, go into Settings and set a preference to use Amazon smile.

That’s it!
