Inc. is a new play incubator by Pocket Theatre that pairs 6 early career Chicago directors with 6 budding Chicago playwrights to develop a new script over a dedicated 4 month process. During the process, the cohort participates in various professional development workshops led in collaboration with Chicago storefront leaders. Inc. culminates in a 2 week festival that is presented live to audiences as well as filmed in Virtual Reality, exploring how to welcome audiences to experience live Chicago theatre from anywhere in the world.
Each Saturday, Audiences will watch 3 30minute excerpts from a completely new play!
