Create
With Abandon
We commission, develop, and produce bold new work for the stage and screen. We begin with writers. We develop with rigor. We create with integrity and impact.
Our work Is Elevated. Fearless. Resonant.
What We Do
We start with writers.
Unafraid to take creative risk with generative artists working at the height of their powers, we marry a writer-driven process to a bold aesthetic in pursuit of the most resonant and provocative ideas and questions of our time.
Artistic Integrity
And Broad Appeal
We create for global audiences.
Building upon our founder’s twenty-year track record, our collaborations challenge and engage audiences across media, worldwide.
