Play. Process. Share. Expand.

October Workshop Registration Now Open.

Calling all writer-directors, actor-singers, producer-designers, dancer-dramaturgs — and everyone who refuses to be just one thing.

Join a four-week in-person workshop where creative multi-hyphenates deepen their voice and connect with a community of boundary-pushers. Each week blends theatre exercises, personal discovery, and collaborative exploration — designed to stretch your artistry and affirm everything you bring to the table. This is where playful exploration meets the foundation for a sustainable, fulfilling career.

Because thriving as a multi-hyphenate isn’t just possible — it’s the whole point.

Workshop led by Nick Flatto — Broadway Producer (Operation Mincemeat, Two Strangers), Director (Stranger Sings!: The Parody Musical), Writer (Glass House: A Musical Love Story)

  • Despite all my credits and past projects, I almost felt damn near unworthy to be in some company with such highly esteemed artists. But by the end, I no longer felt that way, and with tears in my eyes right now, I can honestly say that you played a huge part in the “turning around” of mindset. Thank you.

  • I didn't know what to expect when coming here. Thank you for meeting me in the soft spots. For sharing your heart. For not shying away from the big emotions. For the generosity of your wisdom and the safety of your care. I'm so grateful.
