DEVELOPED
A new program geared toward assisting past artists in their next stage of development.
Darkroom is where I found my artistic voice as a writer. I experimented with ideas, played with new forms, and built the foundation of all the work I'm making now. My pieces at darkroom went on to become full length plays that have appeared at Ars Nova & Williamstown Theatre Festival.

Darkroom gave the push we needed to bring our project, Asylum, to the next level. We felt stronger as a company and our mission after working on our piece for Darkroom. The feedback was positive, constructive and supportive. Because of this, we are on a path to a full production.

Darkroom 11; Darkroom Developed
Darkroom was really helpful in allowing me to get my play up on its feet beyond a music stand reading. There are a lot of reading series out there, but this program is unique in allowing artists to bring in more fully-produced works in progress. This experience helped me learn a lot about the physicality of the play in a way that helped me complete a draft. A year and a half later, it saw a full production and I can say with certainty that this would not have been possible without the support that Darkroom allowed me. It was also fantastic to get access to audiences from such a wide array of other companies.
