Resident Dilettante is a New York-based production company developing new works with upcoming artists in theater and film. Devoted to following the needs of our community through the lens of our work, we find our projects and collaborators through word of mouth, building a troupe of incredible artists across mediums.
We believe in making art with people that inspire us, and making art that inspires us to meet new people. Our circle is always growing, but our projects are consistently spaces of joyful collaboration. We firmly believe in the repeat hire, and always follow up to support our past casts and crews on their journeys.
Community-based, not client-based.
“I think we’re the only company that funds their film division with their theater division.”
Having begun as a theatrical production company, Resident Dilettante has had work up at theaters across New York City, including Theater for a New City, the Tank, and the Mark O’ Donnell. Our work has also toured across New Zealand and been featured in the Emerging Artists Spark Festival and Soho Playhouse’s Lighthouse Festival.
What’s Next?
With our short film, To the Floor, coming out of post-production, we’re busy submitting to festivals and planning our next projects.
Our "Micro Short Series,” a project meant to explore the possibilities of limitation, is set to launch this summer. And we have our play, How to Build a Gate, going up a second time in it’s Off-Broadway run as a finalist at the Soho Playhouse Lighthouse Festival.
