Studio
In the Studio, we commission new plays and develop our shows through artist-driven workshops.
Whatâs Happening Now
In the Studio we commission new plays with an upfront commitment to production. We provide artists with workshops they generate and designâbased 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 Fairview, Is God Is, Futurity, 10 Out of 12, and more. Playwrights currently developing work through the Studio include Garrett Allen, Alice Birch, Becca Blackwell, Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas, Shayok Misha Chowdhury, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins & Carmelita Tropicana, Hansol Jung, Raja Feather Kelly, Mara VĂ©lez MelĂ©ndez, Narcissister, Radical Evolution, Kate Tarker, and Jillian Walker.
