Something In the Garden

VERB THEATRE EXPERIMENT LAB
Here at Verb , we are interested in creative risk taking. We love scripts that tell stories in ways that push the boundaries of what theatre can do and what theatre can be. We are interested in theatre that touches on contemporary conversations and ideas. We’re looking for the theatre of tomorrow.
Do you have a project on your heart that you want to test out in a rehearsal studio with some collaborators? Or maybe you need to rent a projector to see if that cool technique you’ve imagined actually works? Or maybe you’ve got a creative risk that you want to take, and you need a week with a tuba player and a goat to give it a go?
Through the Experiment Lab, you may apply for funds to cover materials, artist fees, rental fees, and studio space.
