Community Residencies.

Roundabout Teaching Artists bring original theatre-making into libraries and community spaces across New York City.

Roundabout Teaching Artists curate and facilitate a series of artistic workshops designed to spark the creative process and foster social interconnectedness through storytelling, dramaturgy, and ensemble building. Program participants explore and discuss the worlds and themes of Roundabout plays, which they use as jumping off points for their own original pieces of community theatre.

Community Residency programming is free and open to all.
