What is The Hatchery?
Some new plays start with a writer, a table, and a group of actors.
At The Hatchery, new plays start with an imaginary dance. A red dress vision. An earworm melody. Or an irresistible beat.
We celebrate and support new works centering movement and music through development workshops and a free one-day festival.
Behind the scenes of La Mariposa by Sofia Marks and Isabel McTighe
La Mariposa
by Sofia Marks with Isabel McTighe
2pm
La Mariposa is a solo devised work about a girl who has forgotten her name. In her bedroom, she howls folklórico vocals and dances bachata. At the borderlands, she cries for her deities.
In the studio with WHY and HOW Are Not in the Picture by Monique Holt
WHY and HOW Are Not in the Picture
by Monique Holt
Performed in ASL with open captions
7pm
WHY and HOW s a multi-sensory experience for hearing and d/Deaf/HoH audiences performed entirely in American Sign Language. Competing voices struggle to construct meaning inside a Deaf Brain, resulting in an absurdist musical enhanced by projected captions, sound, and dynamic lighting elements.
A tremendous thank you to our sponsors!
The Hatchery is supported by the Oregon Cultural Trust through the Multnomah County Cultural Coalition.
