InterAct is a theatre for today's world, dedicated to commissioning, developing and producing new and contemporary plays that explore the social, political and cultural issues of our time. We are drawn to plays that offer surprising, controversial, lesser known and/or competing points of view on the full range of socio-political issues facing humanity.
Despite sometimes being perceived as a “lefty” or “social justice” theatre, InterAct is not interested in rehearsing liberal talking points...
InterAct is a theatre for today's world, dedicated to commissioning, developing and producing new and contemporary plays that explore the social, political and cultural issues of our time. We are drawn to plays that offer surprising, controversial, lesser known and/or competing points of view on the full range of socio-political issues facing humanity.
Despite sometimes being perceived as a “lefty” or “social justice” theatre, InterAct is not interested in rehearsing liberal talking points. For example, a play that merely says “racism is bad” is not for us. Everyone in our organization, all of our artists, and everyone in our audience already agrees that racism is bad! We would, however, be interested in plays that offer situations or conflicts in which issues of race are more complicated than they seem, or plays that examine some less-explored or commonly misunderstood ways that race plays a critical role in the lives of actual people.
Finally, within our mission and aesthetic, we are always particularly eager to read comedies, plays with small casts, and plays that center global themes and non-American stories and characters.
