The New Troupe
Organization
"The New Troupe's old name was the La MaMa Repertory Troupe, but O'Horgan, the Chicagoan who has successfully directed several plays for off-Broadway's Cafe La Mama, and Ellen Stewart, the founding mother of La Mama, reached a parting of the ways and the rechristening became necessary.";"In the 1970s O'Horgan was presented with further opportunities to explore his manifold talents. In 1970 he led a new company on tour in the U.S. and abroad, the New Troupe, presenting two plays by Sam Shepard ["Melodrama Play" and "The Holy Ghostly"] and O'Horgan's own "Gurton's Apocalyptic Needle," an adaptation of medieval drama."
