Lana Schwartz
Founder and Creative Director
NGT was founded by LANA SCHWARTZ in 2019 (then age 14, now age 20), a musical theater performer and producer. Lana heard from so many of her friends that they were hungry to take on roles that teens so rarely get to handle - directing, producing, stage managing, designing, and more. She was eager to help create those opportunities for her generation. So, she formed NGT; securing funding, a theater, a cast and crew, insurance, the rights to their first production, and more. She is so proud to be able to work with the talented team at NGT and to help them achieve their dreams.Lana is a rising Junior at Harvard University, after having graduated from the Professional Performing Arts High School (PPAS) in New York City. She has performed on stage and screen in New York and Los Angeles. Favorite roles include Fanny Brice in FUNNY GIRL (French Woods), Dot in SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (French Woods), Rutka in RUTKA (PPAS, Lincoln Center and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park), Livvy Lovewell in ENDANGERED (Off-Broadway), Tina Denmark in RUTHLESS (French Woods), Charity in SWEET CHARITY (French Woods), Bella in the short film TRACKS (starring opposite Lakeith Stanfield), and Nessarose in the pilot production of WICKED JR.
