A Note From The Director
With an outstanding team of artists connected through a language of original composition and song, spoken word and a sense of the absurd, we will dive into our development season creative process, with sensitivity and recklessness. As resident artists at the Hannah Playhouse throughout November 2023, this unique, valuable, and terrifying opportunity is exceptional. It provides us with space to explore into the unknown toward our shared, emotional, and instinctive imagination, through an enriched and robust process in conversation with a live audience.
