Recipients of BTC's fellowship receive a fully salaried experience mounting a Broadway production. Each fellow immerses themselves in their area of the industry, working alongside current industry leaders to learn the process of theatre making on the executive, creative, and administrative areas.

 

Mitchell is a distinguished director, writer, producer, and arts administrator dedicated to social change. An anti-racist theatre practitioner, Mitchell is committed to creating work that fosters healing for women and other marginalized groups. Dominican American and raised in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area, Mitchell has worked with Woolly Mammoth, Mosaic, Rorschach, Young Playwrights Theatre, and the University of Maryland. She has previously been a Kennedy Center Kenan Fellow at the Hangar Theatre in New York.

 

"New York Theatre Workshop is thrilled to welcome Jasmine A. Mitchell as our inaugural BTC Artistic Directing Fellow,” said NYTW Artistic Director Patricia McGregor in a statement. "Joining us from our esteemed colleges at Woolly Mammoth in D.C., Jasmine is a natural leader and community builder who merges a dynamic artistic practice with a dedication to education to engagement. Her joyful intentionality and innovative mind will be major gifts to NYTW. I’m looking forward to working closely with her over the next year as we meet the challenges and opportunities of this moment in the field. One of my goals as A.D. is to share tools and pave the way for the next generation of leaders. Jasmine’s vision, integrity, and experience as both an artist and an administrator will surely serve her well in this position and in the future. I'm grateful to BTC and Amex for making this opportunity possible.

 

”Since the launch of the Fellowship in 2022, BTC, in sponsorship with American Express, has awarded the fellowship to support New-York based producer and director, TaNisha Fordham and Lanise Antoine Shelley, a Haitian actress, director, podcaster, and visual artist.
