About PUBLIC LAB

Now in its fifth season, Public Lab provides thrilling opportunities for both our audiences and artists.

Our AUDIENCE gains access to more of the theater they love from The Public -- both Shakespeare and new work -- at the affordable price of only $15. Our ARTISTS, both emerging and established, gain a new platform to further develop their work on stage and in performance.

With scaled-down productions (shorter rehearsal periods and smaller budgets), Public Lab brings audiences and artists together on an adventurous ride of extraordinary theater.

Past Public Lab shows include BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON by Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman; THE GOOD NEGRO by Tracey Scott Wilson; FATHER COMES HOME FROM THE WARS (PARTS 1, 8 & 9) by Suzan-Lori Parks; NEIGHBORS by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins; the introduction of Shakespeare into Public Lab with Richard Thomas in TIMON OF ATHENS; and URGE FOR GOING by Mona Mansour.
