Writers Actors Directors (W.A.D.) is a chance to try something, meet somebody, and experience anew what it means to dare at the work collaborative storytelling unbeholden to financial motivations.
For audiences, W.A.D. offers a raw take on the artists process. Between a beginning and a finish, we release 'lightly-staged' readings that meet each group of artists at their particular energy-level and bandwidth. Adding in whatever blocking, tech, costume and props each play is ready for, we meet live arts in the middle of a process that we begin each time with a living team of a local writer, cast of actors and director which goes as far as they can make it over the course of one, two, three or more rehearsals.
Mixing in a little bit of lights, sound design and staging over the course of an evening, our spectacles make it easy to forget that we operate on donated time, a shoestring budget and a few rehearsals. The magic is in bringing curious and talented Writers, Actors and Directors together to bravely explore strange, new stories in whatever time-off they can share. The result is a sweaty, raw mess of creativity known as W.A.D. Come check it out!
