- Biography
- The New Theatre League, a national non-profit federation of little theaters and amateur theatrical groups, was organized in 1935 to stimulate the writing and production of progressive social drama. It was both a publisher and a producer of plays promoting the aims of organized labor and peace and against racial discrimination and oppression. Through its annual play contests, it discovered and sponsored new playwrights such as Clifford Odets and Irwin Shaw and through its New Theatre School, it sought to train actors, directors, playwrights, technicians and teachers to build a people's theater.
