The answer is, we study and play together in groups. We pick a play or a playwright or a genre and commit to a cycle of six to eight Monday nights in a row to work on that chosen project, after which we present the results to the rest of the Company. Usually, we split into smaller groups and do two or three of these cycles simultaneously, and over the years have amassed dozens of plays with which we have varying degrees of familiarity. A project is chosen and the first workshop cycle begins. A storybook version of the NoHo Festival production.
Full production begins with the initial rehearsal period.
