Studio
In the Studio, we commission new plays and develop our shows through artist-driven workshops.
What’s Happening Now
In the Studio we commission new plays with an upfront commitment to production. We provide artists with workshops they generate and design—based on whatever is most vital to them as they look to bring their shows to production-level readiness. In recent seasons over 80% of our productions have been commissioned or developed in the Studio, including Public Obscenities, Wolf Play, Fairview, Is God Is, Futurity, Montag, and more. Playwrights currently developing work through the Studio include Garrett Allen, Alice Birch, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins & Carmelita Tropicana, Raja Feather Kelly, Narcissister, and Radical Evolution.
