[New York, NY, September 2025] As TheaterWorksUSA approaches its 60th anniversary in 2027, the acclaimed nonprofit producer of theater for young and family audiences announces the launch of TWTheatricals, a new division dedicated to creating fully produced, full-length works for multigenerational audiences. The initiative marks a major step forward for TWUSA, producing high-quality productions that engage audiences of all ages.

TWTheatricals’ current slate includes:

  • The Baby-sitter’s Club, a new musical by Mark Sonnenblick and Kate Wetherhead, directed by Annie Tippe.

The production is adapted from the bestselling novel by Jason Reynolds.
  • Dog Man: The Bark Knight by Kevin Del Aguila and Brad Alexander, the sequel to TWUSA’s highly successful full-length Dog Man: The Musical, and adapted from the series of books by Dav Pilkey.
  • Dog Man: The Musical, also written by Del Aguila and Alexander, directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman, is now part of the TWTheatricals division, and is currently available for booking for the 2026–27 season.

TWTheatricals also provides co-production and partnership opportunities for theaters and producers, offering a pathway for ambitious new works to reach audiences nationwide.

“This is an exciting milestone for TheaterWorksUSA,” said Barbara Pasternack, Producing Artistic Director. “TWTheatricals represents a new chapter in our mission—bringing fully produced, full-length productions with high-quality production values to multigenerational audiences, while expanding opportunities for theaters and producers to collaborate with us.”
