We are always creating new work for our community. Check this page for updates on what we’re doing NOW!

Our 2012-13 Season:

How to Break by Aaron Jafferis and the Mixing Texts Collective

Recipient of the Thomas Barbour Playwright’s Award, this new play sneaks into a hospital room with a fake ID, a potty mouth, and a bad case of heartsick. A pediatric hematologist, a folk singer, and a nurse with a beatboxing problem try not to screw up two hospitalized teenagers,  a b-boy with sickle cell and a popper with leukemia, as they break through their diagnoses in search of a gut understanding of what it means to be “ill”.

How to Break recently played a successful run at HERE in NYC, October 18- November 4, co-produced by Hip Hop Theater Festival in association with Collective Consciousness Theatre. We will produce the show here in New Haven in Sept/Oct 2013.

Mash Up/Spark Series - a series that will include public events, discussions, play readings of developing work and commissioning artists to create new American Theatre.

Untitled Reintegrate Project - We’ve been hard at work on a new project that merges art and science around the themes of biology of brain and PTSD. Stay tuned for updates, blogs and public symposiums on this project. We will present this work in June 2013.  

The Bullying Project - For one year, we’ll be working with students, teachers, administrators and parents, using their voices to create a new play about bullying in schools.
