Company Workshop BILL IRWIN: Clown/Beckett One-Day Workshop Dates & Times Friday, January 16, 2026 – 10:00am-1:30pm, 2:30pm-6:00pm Houghton Hall Arts Community, 22 East 30th Street, Jefferson Studio This workshop is open to observers and all company members are invited to attend. Observers may attend for any portion of the workshop. About the Workshop Celebrated actor, director, writer, and clown, Bill Irwin, returns to The Actors Center for a one-day workshop combining the world of the Clown and the language of Samuel Beckett. Over the course of a full day, we'll look at Clown vocabulary—some slapstick principles, some eccentric movement—followed by an exploration of fragments of Beckett’s prose selected by Bill. We’ll see where these two areas of pursuit can connect—and where they seem to need to stay separate. Together, these investigations invite actors to sit inside the creative tension between play and precision, revealing new pathways to clarity, spontaneity, and truth on stage. About Bill Irwin Bill Irwin has been honored with Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Barrymore, and Helen Hayes Awards and is a recipient of Guggenheim, Fulbright, MacArthur and National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. Bill's original works include The Regard of Flight; Largely New York (four Tony Nominations); Fool Moon; Old Hats, The Happiness Lecture; and others. He has starred in many Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional stage productions, including The Iceman Cometh; Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play); The Goat, or Who is Sylvia, opposite Sally Field; Waiting for Godot with Nathan Lane (2009 Drama Desk Award nomination); The Tempest opposite Patrick Stewart; Texts for Nothing; Largely New York; The Regard of Flight; Garden of Earthly Delights; Accidental Death of An Anarchist and the Tony Award-winning Fool Moon which he created with David Shiner. On television, Bill can be seen in The Gilded Age, Legion, Confirmation, This Is Us, as Mr. Noodle of Elmo’s World. His film credits include Rachel Getting Married, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Eight Men Out, Interstellar, Stepping Out, among others. Irwin was an original member of Kraken, a theatre company directed by Herbert Blau, and was also an original member of the Pickle Family Circus of San Francisco. Register Now Participants Enrollment limited to 14 actors. Participants are expected to attend the entire day in full. Comments/Queries |

Company Workshop Will Davis: Play Laboratory Sarah Ruhl's Late, A Cowboy Song Weekend Workshop Dates & Times Saturday, January 24, 2026 – 10:00am-5:00pm (Studio 3A) Sunday, January 25, 2026 – 10:00am-5:00pm (Black Box) Monday, January 26, 2026 – 5:00pm-9:00pm (Studio X) Sat/Sun: Playwrights Studios @440, 440 Lafayette Street Mon: Gibney: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center, 280 Broadway, Enter at 53A Chambers Street This workshop is only open to participants, we cannot accommodate observers. About the Workshop Director, choreographer, and Artistic Director of Rattlestick Theater, Will Davis, returns to The Actors Center this January for a three-day play laboratory exploring the world of Sarah Ruhl’s Late, A Cowboy Song. Working collaboratively and on our feet, we’ll investigate the play—exploring scenes and alternating roles (across age, gender, type)—guided by Will’s physically adventurous and ensemble-driven directing style. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll experiment with how the text behaves in space, in bodies, and in relation to sound and movement. Will will lead investigations that explore moments of claustrophobia versus moments of openness; play with layering voices and redistributing text among multiple actors; and work with a slowed-down line dance as a possible ritual form—asking how poetry, music, and choreography affect the play’s emotional landscape and sense of time. The emphasis throughout will be on exploration rather than outcome: allowing the play to reveal itself through shared inquiry, physical experimentation, and attentive ensemble work. About the Play Mary, always late and always married, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse. Red exudes a taste of freedom that Mary didn't even know she lacked, and is suddenly desperate to find. Late, a Cowboy Song, is the story of one woman's education and her search to find true love outside the box. Written by Sarah Ruhl, the play premiered in 2003 at Clubbed Thumb. » Read the play About Will Davis Will Davis is the Artistic Director of Rattlestick Theater.
