IN THE WORKS
Where New Theater BEGINS
The IN THE WORKS Commissioning platform is designed to support artists at the very earliest stages of their creative process. Supporting both emerging and seasoned playwrights, composers, lyricists, theater-makers, and creative teams, the ITW platform welcomes artists with bold ideas, innovative styles, and unique voices to create stories under the Trademark umbrella.
Over one calendar year, artists are given financial support, and consistent opportunities for critical feedback. At the end of this annual cycle, each artist or creative team in the cohort will receive a 16 hour workshop followed by a public showcase reading at the IN THE WORKS SHOWCASE. This provides each artist and their new work with a 20 minute “proof of concept” presentation of their play or musical for live audiences.
Since the platform's inception, Trademark has worked with many talented artists to bring their ideas to fruition such as Harrison David Rivers, JuCoby Johnson, David Darrow, Kira Obolensky, Meghan Kreidler and her rock band Kiss the Tiger, Eric Sharp, Keith Hovis, Emma Lai, Hannah Bakke, and Vinecia Coleman.
