NOMADS (New and Original Material Authored and Directed by Students) is a student theater group dedicated to workshopping and producing plays and musicals written by current Barnard and Columbia students. NOMADS has been presenting student-written dramas, comedies, musicals, multimedia, and interdisciplinary works since 2003, and many of our productions have gone on to be presented through professional festivals and theaters in New York City. We provide the most dedicated student-artists a supportive and progressive space for the original development of expressive, imaginative, and challenging new theater.

WordPlay Staged Readings Festival |
NOMADS produces one show in The Glicker-Milstein Theatre at Barnard College each semester, which may take the form of a full-length play or musical, a festival of one-acts, or another main stage performance. This production gives student writers a chance to see their work fully realized, staged with a full cast of actors and the support of a director, designers, and other production team members.

Every semester NOMADS pairs 3-6 undergraduate writers with Columbia graduate student mentors to workshop one of their pieces to be presented in a festival of readings toward the end of the semester. WordPlay is a great opportunity for writers who are still in the process of developing or refining a piece.
