Freehold celebrates its 20th Anniversary - September 2011
A creative haven since 1991, Freehold is a thriving collective of artists, teachers, and students collaborating to explore both the mind and the heart.
Our Founders: John Billingsley, Mark Jenkins, George Lewis, Tony Pasqualini, Ben Rankin, and Robin Lynn Smith created a place dedicated to research and experimentation in training and performance for working artists, inspired novices, and willing audiences.
Our Theatre Lab provides a forum for experimentation by professionals, the development of new performance material, and the rediscovery of classics. The Lab enables artists to explore new work - and new ways of working - in order to forge a deeper connection between actor and audience, self and community, life and art.
Past Projects of our Theatre Lab
An institution in Seattle, our Studio offers an extraordinary range of disciplines and styles to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of theatre craft and acting, and to develop an artist’s greatest gift—a sense of truth—while developing the means to express this gift specifically and viscerally.
Thank you to all who came out and celebrated with us at our Homecoming Party on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at Washington Hall. It was very heartwarming to see the large turnout and to hear your transformative Freehold stories. We look forward to continuing our 20th year celebrations with you over the coming year.
