Our Mission

Engage Playwrights Lab is a theater that celebrates the actor as an artist, not a commodity. At Engage Playwrights Lab, communication between actor and playwright is pivotal in the creative process. We are committed to finding, exploring, and showing the work of contemporary (often unknown) playwrights, as well as occasionally going back and studying our influences. (Jerzy Growtowski, Joe Chaikin, Maria Irene Fornes, Megan Terry, Sam Shepard, Miguel Pinero, Sarah Kane and Ibsen, to name a few).

Founded by Craig Perkins, Engage Playwrights Lab serves as a platform for all different types of scripts and performance ideas. He wants the theatre community to know that all voices are welcomed, and that we are here to support everyone in the artistic, creative community.

We are looking at a full performance schedule, as well as work with educational and therapeutic theater projects.
