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.

Five teenagers incarcerated in an ICE Detention Center must navigate daily life as best as they can. On the surface everything seems fine; they make jokes, plan surprise parties, and recount fond memories, but once the big secret is revealed everything falls apart. More info here.

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.
