For nearly 30 years, the Writer Director Lab has been one of Soho Rep’s most beloved and indispensable programs. The Lab is a beacon in the City through which four collaborative artistic pairs forge community and develop inventive new work together.

The Lab culminates in work-in-progress presentations of the pieces Lab members have been making together over the prior year, with the guidance and support of Co-Chairs William Burke and Jackie Sibblies Drury. We are absolutely thrilled that the time has come, and you can make free reservations to see these brand new pieces now!

The workshop presentations by Alex Tatarsky & Iris McCloughan, Jean Carlo Yunén & Iraisa Ann Reilly, Salwa Meghjee & Zahra Budhwani, and Jisoo Hope Yoon & Chloe Chow will take place in three venues across lower Manhattan on September 16 & 17 and September 24 & 25. The start times and locations make it possible for you to check out two showings a night, because we know how much you really love new work.

Prince Faggot's reign is not over yet!

Although the show has now closed at the Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons, the three-times-extended world premiere will return this fall for a limited six-week engagement at Studio Seaview (305 W 43rd St), from September 11–October 26. Learn more here.

“Soho Rep isn’t the last word in downtown experimental theater: Better than that, it’s often one of the first words, championing major voices at key points in their careers. Its astounding list of alums includes Richard Maxwell, Young Jean Lee, Adam Bock, Annie Baker, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, David Adjmi, Lucas Hnath, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Anne Washburn, Aleshea Harris and Jackie Sibblies Drury (whose Fairview, which premiered there, won the Pulitzer Prize). And Soho Rep’s low ticket prices, including 99¢ Sundays, help keep some of the city’s bravest, boldest and wildest theater within the reach of all New Yorkers. ”
