THE PLAYGROUND EXPERIMENT
WHERE THEATRE ARTISTS CAN EXPLORE
The PlayGround Experiment is a home for theatre artists anywhere in the world to explore, test, and develop new work while finding inspiration and support from the community that it creates. Artist relationships thrive in a safe, inclusive environment, strengthened by diversity and an ability to be ourselves. We must do everything we can to take daily action in creating a space where everyone has the opportunity to do their absolute best, as well as the freedom to make mistakes/missteps. Our hope is that each artist has the time, space and chance to find structure, heart, and truth whether as a writer, actor, director or patron.
