Our Mission

We believe that vibrant contemporary theater should be available to everyone, regardless of time, funds or geography.

What We Do

By producing and distributing short plays via our podcast, we deliver the work of America’s best theater practitioners to the nation—for free.

We commission new works by the country’s top playwrights. We cast celebrated actors and rehearse with award-winning directors.

We also record previously staged works, adding a bold new audio dimension to existing stories.
