Causes: Arts & Culture, Theater
Mission: The company is dedicated to creating innovative works that explore theatrical language and form, and fostering an artistic dialogue with audiences on the social, political and human issues that effect us all. Its mission is to develop and present new work that brings together a broadly diverse spectrum of artists and audiences that explore and embrace theater together as both an entertaining art form and a personal resource.
Programs: In 2014 tectonic theater project placed a large focus on developing new plays, touring plays we had already developed and expanding our number of education residencies. We expanded our staff to include a new full-time general manager. In 2014 we had a tour of tallest tree in the forest that ran at arena stage and mark taper forum. Square peg round hole (working title) had two developmental workshops. Carmen had a music workshop which cumulated in a performance as part of the guggenheim's works in process series and then a developmental workshop production at the university of miami in the fall. 2014january 4-15: the tallest tree in the forest (arena stage)- rehaersalsjanuary 7-9: moment work at milton academy with andy paris and leigh fondakowskijanuary 8: carroll senior high school skype with diane walsh, 33 variations pianistjanuary 9: carroll senior high school skype with scott barrow, 33 variations original castjanuary 16-february 16:the tallest tree in the forest (arena stage)- productionjanuary 16-18: keynote and moment work at utah theatre association with barbara pitts mcadams and greg pierottijanuary 17-19: moment work at carroll senior high school with scott barrowjanuary 19: moment work at ransom everglades high school with andy parisfebruary 6: laramie talk at leon m.
