How Will This Work?
Once the application period ends, we will assign applicants with time in the space. Not every applicant will be able to be scheduled during each rehearsal block, but don’t worry! If you didn’t receive time in the application period before, you will receive priority in the next round that you apply in. The application will reopen regularly to ensure we can serve a large portion of our community.
Who Is Eligible?
This rehearsal space is for NYC-based indie theater companies, collectives/productions, or individuals. Priority will be given to companies, collectives/productions, or individuals who identify as members of historically-excluded groups.
If You Are Selected
You will be given a contract to sign, Rules and Regulations to accept, and an invoice for payment. Once the contract is signed and the invoice is paid in full, you will receive more information on how to access the space, and other information to make your rehearsal process as easy as possible.
