Now Accepting New Play Submissions

  By Akropolis Performance Lab • August 31, 2014 - 3:00 PM , ,

Do you have a script in the works (or on the shelf) that you would like to have considered for a reading with talented actors and feedback from an open, intelligent, supportive (if sometimes motley) collection of artists, intellectuals, and lovers of the arts? APL’s New Year New Play Salon in January might be your launch pad for something BIG!

APL Presents N. American Premiere Reading of Barker’s The Fence

Howard Barker

Howard Barker, who is perhaps APL’s favorite living playwright, has more than 100 works to his name — mostly produced by his company, The Wrestling School. On October 12, at our Sunday Salon, we will present what we believe to be the first public reading of his 2005 The Fence in its Thousandth Year: set in a world of forced segregation, illegal immigration, and shifting sands of Truth, it is an epic tale of power, deprivation, desire, and cultural conflict told through sometimes shocking imagery, dark humor, and arguably some of the richest poetic language in contemporary drama. Join us October 12 for this not-to-be missed exploration of Barker’s vanguard, timely work that must be heard. Learn more and RSVP…

Barker’s complex and poetic language demands as much concentration from the audience as any classical or Jacobean play, and The Fence owes much to both forms of drama.

Special Salon to Honor Odin’s 50th Anniversary

  By Akropolis Performance Lab • June 8, 2014 - 2:34 PM , , ,

Odin 50th anniv image - APL with dateWe are thrilled to add a special Sunday Salon to our regular, quarterly line-up and hope you will join us for this rare opportunity!

When Odin Teatret celebrates its 50th anniversary on June 22 with a one-time-only performance of CLEAR ENIGMA, Akropolis Performance Lab wants to “be there” — and we invite you to join us, too! The performance is being livestreamed. “It will take place after the conclusion of the Festuge, a week of festivities […] in which Odin Teatret, local associations, institutions, and individual citizens ally themselves to theatricalise their community, revitalise its ties and honour its differences.”

We highly value the work of Odin Teatret, with which we share artistic heritage and which has had meaningful impact upon our work, as well. More information.
