that takes place in 6' x 6' x 6' or smaller and in under 10 mins.
Each year the Incubator hosts a TINY THEATER! festival, a four-night multi-arts event designed to promote interest in new forms of spatially challenged performance. The festival will feature short works by established and emerging artists.
This year we are looking for projects that embrace the idea of "tiny theater" and find new ways to experiment with the form. The festival takes place the weeks of May 11--24.
Complete application guidelines are included in the application form. Applications are due Tuesday, March 25.
