GF&CO’s Open Studios are free INVITATION ONLY open rehearsals where we share the experimentation of our projects while still in development​ by putting our performance technique,One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA)™ into action. The JUNE 24 Open Studio will be the culmination of our 3-week residency, or, what we call, MONKEY TIME.

GF&CO Open Studios offer an opportunity to engage our invited guests in the early stages of our project development, and to share the benefits of process-driven projects (vs. product-driven productions) as they are grown incrementally.

GF&CO Open Studios are an opportunity to introduce potential producing partners, potential new patrons, and/or ambassadors to our work, our projects, and our company.

We conclude the Open Studio with light refreshments and an open dialogue.

Monkey Time refers to our workshop development residencies: a process dedicated to the exploration and experimentation of a new project while on our feet, as well as to the application of the One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA) ™ performance technique.

Monkey Time differs from traditional play development -- which focuses primarily on the development of a script and is generally conducted through a series of play-readings.

Monkey Time is time to "monkey around " and test new ideas long before we head into production
