Studio Series

Studio Series 2011

Freehold has been presenting our very popular Studio Series for 16 years. This event features works created and performed by Freehold students, alumni, and faculty members. Presented in a festival setting past performances have included original monolouges, scenes from classic plays, puppetry, movement based explorations, and scenes from new plays.
 The Studio Series runs for the month of February. Each week a new line-up of works is presented. The fourth week is our encore week and several of the participants will be invited back to perform for a second time.

Studio Series applications will be available in October with performances held in March 2011.

The Studio Series is sponsored by the Washington State Arts Commission, 4Culture, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.

Freehold’s Associate Partner,  George Lewis, explains, “The present step – taking the work into an investigative setting with a director and then into the public arena with an audience – is a vital aspect of Freehold’s mission.  It is also a very exciting step. These are works-in-progress, and we encourage participants to use their performances as opportunities to further the process of discovery.” 

Former Studio Series projects have moved on to larger runs at local venues such as On the Boards and the Seattle Fringe Festival as well as other national and international fringe festivals.
