Celebrate Sundance Institute Theatre Program New York Benefit Event Monday, March 12, 2012 The Theatre Program has been a core component of Sundance Institute since Robert Redford founded the Institute more than 30 years ago. Since then, the Theatre Program has emerged as the leading play development program in the United States. Titles such as Spring Awakening, I Am My Own Wife, Passing Strange, and Grey Gardens, as well as many others, have gone from Theatre Program Labs to production from coast to coast and internationally, garnering multiple Pulitzers, Tonys, Obies, and other recognition. The Theatre Program’s East Africa initiative is the only professional ‘lab’ on the continent, serving artists in six African countries. This event celebrates our rich commitment to supporting emerging and established theatre artists and the development of new works. Join us. All of us.
