Incubator: New Works by Local Artists
My Night in the Planetarium by Tanya Nixon-Silberg, Little Uprisings.
Puppet Showplace Theater supports the development of world premiere puppetry productions by local artists. Incubator puppeteers become part of a supportive artistic community and receive rehearsal space, a materials stipend, and fiscal sponsorship for outside funding. They also often participate in peer reviews and periodic works-in-progress showings with members of the community.
Incubator projects typically culminate in a multi-weekend premiere run on our stage. These shows have been seen by thousands of people across Greater Boston and New England, and have gone on to tour nationally and internationally.
Incubator applications are accepted on a rolling basis. If you are interested in developing a production through the Incubator program, please send a statement of interest, work sample, and initial production proposal to artistic@puppetshowplace.org.
