Committed
to nurturing emerging artists and new works, the Performance Lab
was created out of the Piven Theatre Workshop training center
to provide mentorship opportunities to theatre artists. Beginning
with its acclaimed youth ensembles the Performance Project and
The Young People’s Company, the Performance Lab has expanded
to include multi-artist performance salons, staged readings, and
new works festivals.
