Theater that moves.

Many Hats Collaboration

Join us for a new works revolution.

Some new plays start with a writer, a table, and a group of actors.

At The Hatchery, new plays start with an imaginary dance. A red dress vision. An earworm melody. Or an irresistible beat.

We celebrate and support new works centering movement and music through development workshops and a free one-day festival.

The Hatchery debuts on August 25, 2024, when two production teams open their doors to share performances of their plays-in-progress following a week of intensive work in the studio.

Join us for new works and festivities including a catered happy hour, a moderated panel on creating Deaf theater, an all-bodies-welcome dance class, and more. Reserve your free seats today!
