At Irondale, we believe that "the process is the play" (as American Theatre Magazine aptly described in this article) and we want to invite you, our audience, to step inside the Irondale process and become a part of our next creative venture:
THE PROCESS IS THE PLAY, a series of 3-day explorations dedicated to experimenting the Irondale methodology of devising plays, in development for over 40 years.
This series marks the third and final iteration of the AMERICAN CENTURY arc and is a bold initiative to open up our creative process to our audiences as we begin to approach "new" plays.
We believe that these plays have been unjustly overlooked, dismissed, or misunderstood in the past, and we want to give our own spin to them. And since the Irondale methodology is deeply rooted in the revolutionary improvisational techniques of Viola Spolin and Paul Sills, so the rehearsal room is truly where the magic happens – that's why we want you there with us!
Our series kicks off with Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth on October 7th, followed by Arthur Miller's I Can't Remember Anything on November 4th, and concludes with Tennessee Williams' A House Not Meant to Stand in January 2025.
Each play will undergo three days of intensive exploration and after each rehearsal, we'll host a special Zoom Debrief exclusively for members of Irondale's new membership program, the Director's Circle, where we'll share the day's discoveries and insights. Then, we will await for you to join us and witness the "process-at-work" that goes on at Irondale.
These performances are open to the public on a Donate-What-You-Wish basis, allowing everyone to experience the magic of theatre. Your support, whether big or small, makes a significant impact on our work.
Join us on this exciting journey into the unknown as we continue to push the boundaries of theatre and storytelling.
