About
LAB Theater Project
BRINGING NEW WORKS TO LIFE
Lab Theater Project is a production company focused on producing new works in the Tampa Bay Community. Our belief in a "playwright first" focus is resolute and a core value of the company. Along with a focus on new works, we also focus on training new theater artists to join our growing community.
We only produce works from emerging playwrights and develop, through education, new artists (Actors, Directors, Stage Managers, and Designers) for the continued growth of live theater artistry.
We currently produce four new plays per year, often utilizing students in aspects of the production; thereby, giving students the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned while working side by side with established professionals in the community as well as enriching the collaborative creative process of the playwright.
Our Mandate:
-
Bring the Playwright's vision to life.
-
Grow as artists.
-
Develop new theater artist: Actors, Directors, Designers, & Stage Managers.
-
Build a core of artists who develop a life-long practice of theatrical artistry.
