| Mission
The Cutting Ball's mission is to develop productions of experimental new plays
and re-visioned classics with an emphasis on language and images.
The Cutting Ball's vision is to produce plays that reveal a poetic truth as
opposed to a naturalistic or realistic one. We are committed to finding performance
strategies that best releases the poetry of the plays we produce.
Programs
Fall Productions
Risk is This…The Cutting Ball New Play Festival
Staged readings of three experimental new plays with a team of designers
and actors working to discover production strategies that best realize
these innovative pieces. Also a try-out for a possible full production
at the Cutting Ball or elsewhere.
Avant GardARAMA! (offered in alternate years with
Risk is This) An evening of short experimental plays given a full production
and a six-week run.
Winter & Spring Productions
Full productions of plays from our list of future
possibilities. These productions are usually developed from Risk is
This... or from our workshops and readings.
Workshops & Readings
A chance to test out a piece before it is chosen for a major production.
These are scheduled as needed throughout the year.
