Plays in Process
Plays in Process is an initiative to provide virtual space to foster new theatrical works by up-and-coming writers and creators. Through readings and workshops in collaboration with professionals in the industry, these works should reflect issues of our time and provoke conversation to both further develop the piece and challenge the way we see the world.

Residence Reads
Twice a month, Artists in Residence will host casual, “warm” readings of plays as a way for us to assemble virtually and experience a range of published works the way they were meant to be enjoyed: out loud. Anyone and everyone who loves theatre and storytelling should consider joining us as a way to stay creatively fulfilled and connected as artists. Pour yourself a beverage, get cozy and play on!

Isolation Conversations
Industry professionals get together and discuss topics relevant to their craft, their artistic identity, and the world at large. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions and join in the conversation. We encourage reflection, connection, and a space to check in with other artists.
