This laboratory-style program features student-driven new plays in various stages of development. Written and directed by graduate and undergraduate students in the Department of Theatre, this project offers opportunities for students to experiment with adventurous forms of live theatre and imaginative world-making. Students explore dynamic approaches to playwriting, devising, and directing as they reimagine a theatre for the 21st century.
