ANDTheatre Company

ANDTheatre Company (Artistic New Directions) is dedicated to developing new works for performance -- plays, solo shows, acts and whatever else talented people might do to engage an audience. AND offers artists of all levels the opportunity to acquire new skills as well as develop, workshop and produce projects.

As a large number of our members have experience improvising, there is a special interest in works and formats derived from the pioneering explorations by Viola Spolin, Paul Sills and Del Close. Written projects exclusive of improvisation are also encouraged and welcome.

AND supports performing artists and their projects from inspiration through perspiration to production by providing rehearsal and performance space, offering educational opportunities with world-class teachers and mentors at subsidized prices, and helping actors, writers, directors and designers find and collaborate with each other.

Mission

• To develop and present new theatrical works in fully staged productions that ignite the theatergoer’s mind, heart and imagination; productions that strike out in artistic new directions.
• To build and sustain a community of theatre artists and their collaborators;
• To provide that community with artistic and technical resources from inspiration to production;
• To explore and expand the possibilities of improvisation as a performing skill and as a means of creating scripted works.
