I am trying to locate an actor's workshop group located in New York
City, that was originally started and co-founded by Jeff Fahey. It is
the American Road Production Development Workshop Series at the
Raft Theatre in New York City.  The Raft Theatre also sponsors a
Writer's and Director's Workshop as well.  I would like contact
information for this group please - an address, telephone number,
email address - any form of contact would be acceptable.  Thank you. 
My bid is $10.00.

mushka...

The Raft Theatre is not listed in online
yellow page directories, and there are no
leads for the Production Workshop Group.
The best I could come up with is an email
address (potentially outdated) for the 
founder and (former?) Artistic Director
of the Raft Theatre in New York City,
who may, or not, have an idea where to
contact the group - if it is still active.

Feedback, please...

Hi there,

There are no indications that this group is still active - I have
found no mention of the group existing after the 1980s.

They are, however, still listed as an active Domestic Not-for-Profit
Corporation by the New York State Department of State Corporation and
Business Entity Database - and in theory anything sent to these
addresses will find whoever is in charge of the paperwork for the
former theatre:

Dept of State Process (Address to which DOS will mail process if
accepted on behalf of the entity)
RAFT THEATRE, LTD. 
333 EAST 14TH ST 
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10013

The theatre was located on Theatre Row (West 42nd Street) in
Manhattan.

Your best bet would be to contact Martin Zurla, one of the founders.
This website appears to be quite current:
http://www.foremostart.com/gallery/mzmain.html

and the contact email address of artists@foremostart.com is the best I
can find for him - it covers a few artists, so make sure you mention
his name in the subject field.

Your answer was very helpful.  I was able to find the information I
was looking for.  Thank you for your time and your expertise.
