Company CoLabs Community Space Tuesday Mornings Dates & Times Every Tuesday – 11:00am-12:30pm ET Launch Zoom Link Meeting ID: 837 0411 7798 Passcode: 374737 Hosted by Jodie Lynne McClintock About the CoLab Started three years ago at the height of the Covid-19 lockdown as a way to connect, it has continued weekly as a family of actors navigating the changing landscape of our times. Here you will find a supportive, safe virtual space where artists in our company bring their stories, concerns, questions, recommendations, and inspirations in a free-wheeling but facilitated discussion. With no set agenda, we delve into whatever is of interest or concern in any given week. We explore what it means to be an actor and what place our art holds in the world. People suggest balm for body and soul while walking hand-in-hand along the actor’s way. About the Series Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members. Company members host or facilitate projects—play reading groups, explorations of new material or approaches, writing labs, devising work, field trips, retreats—in short, anything inspiring to explore among peers. CoLabs offer creative outlets to explore work you might not otherwise have the opportunity for, while continuing to share resources and deepen connections among our Actors Center community.

Company Workshop José Zayas: Play Laboratory Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding Wednesday and Friday Afternoons Dates & Times Wednesday, February 18, 2026 – 12:30pm-4:30pm Friday, February 20, 2026 – 1:00pm-5:00pm Wednesday, February 25, 2026 – 12:30pm-4:30pm Friday, February 27, 2026 – 1:00pm-5:00pm Houghton Hall, 20 East 30th Street, 2nd Floor Ballroom This workshop is open to observers and all company members are invited to attend.
