In 2005, the OHT thoroughly revamped and updated its programs for emerging artists by starting the Ontological-Hysteric Incubator.  The INCUBATOR is programming which guides artists from workshop phases to fully realized productions. The INCUBATOR houses artists, who follow in the compositional theater footsteps of Foreman, but have their own unique visions and aesthetic strategies for tracing out the Ontological-Hysteric Theater's aim of unsettling perception and disorienting understanding.  The INCUBATOR programming provides these artists with aesthetic and practical mentorship and support on their way towards self-sustaining and more rigorous productions.

Ontological-Hysteric Incubator is long-term development and process oriented programming for emerging artists.  Ideally artists begin in one of its work-in-progress programs and grow towards fully realized and self-produced performances beyond the INCUBATOR.  They receive producing guidance and assistance according to their specific needs in marketing, fundraising, press relations, and technical and production management from OHT staff.  Those needs are determined by the OHT staff, the artists themselves, and the resources of the specific program in which they are participating.  During their time participating in the INCUBATOR and afterwards, Incubator artists should increase their exposure to audience, producers and peers thereby increasing their opportunities for audience growth, later production and artistic collaboration.
