Develop New Works, Revisit Prior Scripts

TIC is seeking artists with new or existing works they would like to develop for performance:
  • Artists with a 20-30 min-long solo shows for a future Plus 1 Solo Show Festival
  • Playwrights who would like to revisit a past play with TIC for its Take 2 Incubator: over a 2-month period, culminating in a staged reading for an invited audience, we'll ask what worked in the first production, revisit what didn't, and see what enhances the script for future production

Announcing 'The Beauvoirs'

TIC is starting its very own script-writing group, The Beauvoirs, to help develop new work for future readings and further development.

Its name is inspired by none other than Simone de Beauvoir, and her last name, which literally means, beautiful vision.

Lights Down on the Beloved Shetler Studios & Theatres

For TIC supporters, Shetler Studios & Theatres was synonymous with TIC productions. Since 2009, TIC rehearsed and performed nearly all its main stage productions within its space at 244 West 54th Street, from Psych to Relentlessly Pleasant.

Sadly, in 2020, Shelter was forced to close once and for all due to the pandemic. It was invaluable to have a space to which we could return, time and again, in the heart of the theater district, and we are so grateful to have called it our artistic home for over ten years.
