Inc. is a new play incubator that strategically pairs 6 early career Chicago directors with 6 budding Chicago playwrights to develop a new script over a dedicated 3 month process. During the process, the cohort participates in various professional development workshops led in collaboration with Chicago storefront leaders. Inc. culminates in a 2 week festival that is presented live to audiences as well as filmed in Virtual Reality, exploring how to welcome audiences to experience live Chicago theatre from anywhere in the world.
