Producing Residency

Overview

The SOUL Producing Residency Program is a 10-month program designed to provide hands-on experience in the administrative requirements of producing a theatrical season in New York City. The resident is given the opportunity to take the lead in producing a project within that season to widen their professional training, skill sets, and confidence.

THE SOUL SERIES LAB (Liberating Artistic Bravery) is a contemporary laboratory for accelerating and creating innovative new work by cutting-edge artists rooted in NBT’s pedagogy.
