Infinite Stage was founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Leslie Felbain, dramaturg Susan Haedicke, and a core company of actors, all graduates of the American Conservatory Theater MFA Program in San Francisco, where Felbain was one of their teachers. The group initially convened to create and perform a single cabaret in New York City, but decided to formalize as a theater collective after receiving enthusiastic response from audiences in New York City and Washington DC. Since its inception, Infinite Stage has devoted itself to creating and performing original plays and adaptations, as well as teaching theatrical technique at colleges, universities, cultural and community centers throughout the world. Our collective of collaborating artists has grown and we continue to refine the approach we use to create our performance pieces. Our working process involves the immersion into a community or subject through the collection of personal stories, historical data and relevant current events. |
