Kori Rushton and Ben Vershbow, curators

Since 2007, IRT has become a key resource for indy theater makers in New York, hosting radically affordable, full-immersion development residences for emerging and established artists including: Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts, Tommy Smith, Immediate Medium, Mike Daisey, The Nonsense Company, Katt Lissard, Thomas Bradshaw, Group Theory, Performance Lab 115, Human Animals, The Paper Industry and many others.

IRT’s intimate performance space offers artists the flexibility and autonomy to mount full-bodied workshops and do robust technical experimentation, creating a supportive environment for taking risks and test-driving new work before adventurous audiences and potential producers.

Curated on a rolling basis, the 3B Development Series welcomes project proposals of all shapes and sizes, from exploratory workshops to full showcase productions. Proposals will be given a 2-4 week review period before a selection is made. During that time, the applying artist(s) should be available to answer questions and discuss details with IRT’s curators.

If you are considering applying, we encourage you to get in touch or invite us to a showing of your work: programming@irttheater.org
