The application to the 2012 Sundance Institute Theatre Lab is now CLOSED.
We thank every one who applied.
Applicants will be notified April 1, 2012.
The Sundance Institute Theatre Lab, the centerpiece of the Theatre Program, is pleased to return to the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah, after a two-year hiatus while the Resort underwent construction. This three-week workshop is designed to develop and nurture promising new voices as well as established artists, and to provide a place where their work can be effectively mentored and challenged.
The Theatre Lab, which shepherds up to eight new plays annually, is unique in its day-on, day-off rehearsal structure. This schedule affords each Fellow time to fully explore rewrites of her/his work without pressure of producing pages for rehearsals each day. The process culminates in a closed presentation of each project for the Lab community followed by a feedback session led by the Producing Artistic Director and Theatre Lab creative team.
Theatres that have commissioned work selected for the Theatre Lab are welcome to attend both the presentation and feedback session for their project as observers at their own expense. Projects are selected through an annual open submission process. Please click PROCEED TO GUIDELINES at the bottom of the page to view the Guidelines and complete the Application.
