Freehold Theatre Lab Studio

Mission & Vision

Freehold engages the artist in every human, through theatrical training, experimentation, and practice; to foster a deeper connection with themselves and with each other in pursuit of radical mutuality.

We at Freehold believe that theatre should inspire people to embrace the full range of human experience and connect us more deeply in community. To accomplish this, we must create a space where all people of all identities will be welcomed, respected, and valued. The practice must be truthful, illuminate the unseen, and articulate the unspoken.

What am I supporting?

With support from you, our community, we are…

Increasing the impact of our Engaged Theatre tour by downsizing to a smaller, more nimble production, allowing us to be able to return live to DOC facilities, and bring our production to other extraordinary audiences. 

Adding youth programming: a high school intensive theatre program, as well as recommitting to residencies at Echo Glen Children’s Center.

Reimagining our Ensemble Training Intensive.

Continuing our Resident Artist Program, which we piloted last year in collaboration with Engaged Theatre artist and DJ Jennifer Moore, providing free space and staff resources to further the work of artists of the global majority.

Re-launching and upgrading our Space Rental program. Come rehearse or do scene work in one of our three studios; or do voice work in our new, state of the art whisper room! 

About our Organization

Freehold Theatre engages people from all walks of life in cultivating the audacity of the human spirit through the practice of theatre. An inclusive creative haven since 1991, Freehold is a thriving collective of artists, teachers, and students collaborating to explore both the mind and the heart.

In our community we endeavor to provide a haven where artists are encouraged: to risk making their work deeper, truer, and more resonant; to reinvest in their love and inspiration; and to challenge themselves to keep discovering and maturing.

Since its founding as a Center for the Practice of Theatre, Freehold has been devoted to making that practice radically accessible. Serving the full spectrum of our community, Freehold’s programs broaden engagement, serve diverse audiences, and encourage deep participation in the arts
