jack labs
A new series designed to incubate theatrical work. We see it as an opportunity for playwrights to advance their play past the "workshop" phase, but without the pressure of a multi-week run. The first two plays in the program are Saguaros, by Angélica Herrera, and Trash, by Andrew Morrill and James Caverly. Additional projects to be announced at a later date.

Tim and Jake may be Deaf roommates sharing an apartment in the city, but they are polar opposites — each with very different worldviews on what it means to be Deaf in a hearing world. When it comes to taking out the trash, they take a comical and insightful dive into their trash and their perceptions of each other’s lives. More info here.
