Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, produced by Ars Nova in 2012, officially transferred to Broadway in 2016 with Josh Groban playing the role of Pierre. History Ars Nova was founded by Jon and Jenny Steingart in 2002 in memory of Gabe Wiener to provide a welcome home for young artists and audiences alike. In 2005 Ars Nova became a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) Not - For - Profit Organization. In addition to Ars Nova 's vast array of development programs for emerging artists, they 're also committed to commissioning new work and producing world premieres. World premiere productions Each year, Ars Nova commissions and hosts two large - scale productions, often drawing from work originally shown in their development programs. These productions vary and flux in genre, the only requirement being that the works be original and innovative. Past world premiere productions 2017 included the world premiere co-production of Sundown, Yellow Moon, with WP Theatre. Sundown, Yellow Moon featured songs by the indie duo the Bengsons and starred Lilli Cooper and Eboni Booth, as twins who return home to find their father in crisis. The play was written by Rachel Bonds, and directed by Anne Kauffman. Sundown, Yellow Moon was a New York Times Critic pick, and New Yorker recommended. Up next in 2017 includes KPOP a world premiere immersive musical co-produced with Woodshed Collective and Ma - Yi Theater Company. KPOP gives the audience a first - hand opportunity to witness the cultivation and launch of Korean pop stars in New York City. 2016 included the world premiere production of Underground Rail Road Game, created by Jennifer Kidwell and Scott R. Sheppard with Lighting Rod Special, directed by Taibi Magar. Underground Rail Road Game won a 2017 Obie for Best New American Theatre Work for Jennifer Kidwell and Scott R. Sheppard ( tied with J.T. Rogers for Oslo at LCT ). Underground Railroad Game will commence an international tour in spring of 2017. 2015 included the world premiere production of Bess Wohl 's intrepid, almost entirely silent play Small Mouth Sounds. Directed by Rachel Chavkin, the show garnered rave reviews and completely sold out its extended run. Small Mouth Sounds was followed by the co-production of FUTURITY ( music and lyrics by Cesar Alvarez ) with Soho Rep, a beloved downtown New York theater with an eye for innovative contemporary work. The show was produced at The Connelly Theater in the East Village and was directed by Sarah Benson. The New York Times described it as `` the most lovely and inventive music you can hear on a New York stage right now. '' American Theater dubbed the production a `` triumphant realization of a new - model American musical. '' The Fall production also completely sold out its extended run. Ars Nova 2014 world premiere productions included Vinny DePonto 's Charlatan and Jacuzzi by The Debate Society. Their 2014 season also included By The Water, a co-production with Manhattan Theatre Club. Other past Ars Nova productions include Game Play, Eager to Lose, Core Values, The Netflix Plays, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, The Urban Dictionary Plays, The Lapsburgh Layover, Be a Good LIttle Widow, The Wii Plays, Now Circa Then, Bloodsong of Love, Missed Connections NYC, Sax & Dixon : We Thee Wed, Mel & El : Show & Tell, Two Girls for Five Bucks and the Ten Dollar Heartbreakers, Playlist, Jollyship the Whiz - Bang, Boom, From up Here, Dixie 's Tupperware Party, At Least It 's Pink, 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother, Holy Cross Sucks !, Freestyle Love Supreme and The Wau Wau Sisters. Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 After Dave Malloy first performed on the Ars Nova stage in 2010, Artistic Director Jason Eagan, was blown away by his originality, range, and rigor, which led to a curiosity of what else was swirling around his head. Malloy became Ar Nova 's 2012 Composer in Residence, giving Malloy access to all of Ars Nova 's resources for one year - time, space, money, writing retreats, and a commission to create a new music - driven work to be produced at Ars Nova. When Dave proposed a musical based on Tolstoy 's War and Peace Jason knew it was beyond Ars Nova 's typical resources, but the project was too good to pass up. Jason knew that Ars Nova could push Dave farther than he had ever been before, and Dave could push Ars Nova farther than they had been before. October 2011 commenced the first weeklong workshop used to further develop the characters, story, music, and explore the idea of mixing a concert party and theater into one event. As the workshop ended Jason knew that this production would take more resources than they typically put into each production, and would take Ars Nova 's entire production budget, a budget usually reserved for two productions, to accomplish this lofty goal. In April of 2012, the production went through its second workshop to explore how the piece would live on its feet in the space.At the conclusion of the second workshop designer, Mimi Lin was brought on and made the decision to elevate the performers on runways that would swirl around the audience, allowing the performers to move through the space in full view. August 27, 2012, marked the date for the first rehearsal at Ars Nova. It was a month of creatively fueled blood, sweat and tears by a tremendous group of artists giving their all. The show officially opened at Ars Nova on October 16, 2012, and by the end of that week, the entire run was sold out. The extension sold out within one hour. Programs and series In addition to its World Premiere theatrical productions, the theater produces a number of series, festivals and programs. ANT Fest ANT Fest is a four - week annual festival designed to showcase the next generation of theater artists, musicians and comedians. The festival works exclusively with emerging artists, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work in front of a New York audience. Each show is given only one performance in order to allow for greater risk taking and the development of as many new artists as possible over the 30 night period. In its premiere year ( 2008 ), the All New Talent ( ANT ) Festival ran from October 16 through November 24 and presented the work of 175 new artists. In 2012, the festival was moved from fall to summer. ANT Fest is a prime destination for an eclectic mix of brand new shows and has proven to be an important first step in the lifecycle and development of new theatrical work. Through its open submission process, the festival offers a wide range of early career artists a point of entry onto the Ars Nova stage as well as into the greater New York City arts community. Vibrant, new musicians and composers, comedy artists, playwrights, puppeteers, variety acts and performers of all kinds are encouraged to submit ! Play group The Play Group is a vibrant and eclectic group of emerging playwrights that gather twice a month at Ars Nova to share new work and get feedback. The group offers members the chance to develop their plays with peer support, form collaborative relationships and build a strong sense of community within Ars Nova.
