EXPERIENCE
#O'NEILLSUMMER
Immerse yourself in total creativity at one of the nation's most famed artistic retreats. Memorize your lines while sitting on your front porch. Find inspiration about how to end your first act on a walk to the beach. Get advice about moving to the city, while sitting in an Adirondack chair. Celebrate the debut of a writer's show with a toast in the pub. Make lifelong friends at a picnic table. Learn from all the artists brought together by a shared passion of creating new work for the stage.
The National Puppetry Conference provides a meeting and creating ground for master artisans to pass their craft and ingenuity to new artists in the field of puppetry. Each June, participants gather from across the globe to create works that defy the bounds of contemporary theater and the imagination.
The National Music Theater Conference supports the development of all styles and genres of music theater, including operas and hybrid works. NMTC aims to provide a supportive and challenging environment in which emerging and established creative artists can take risks in order to refine and illuminate their work’s vision during its formative stages.
The National Playwrights Conference's process of public, script-in-hand staged readings pioneered the model for new play development, establishing an industry standard now seen in theaters around the world and continues innovating today.
