THE COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED AS 68% BIPOC, 60% LGBTQ+, 80% FEMALE OR TRANS/GENDER NON-CONFORMING, AND 4% PARENT ARTISTS. THE 2025 RESIDENCY ALSO INCLUDED TWO PRODUCTIONS IN RESIDENCE, FOCUSED ON PLAYS ALREADY SLATED FOR PRODUCTION BY PARTNER THEATRES. ONE OF THESE PROJECTS, THE WATERFALL BY PHANSIA PHAREL, DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THROWN STONE PRODUCTIONS IN CONNECTICUT, EXPLORES THE TENSIONS BETWEEN A HAITIAN-AMERICAN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER NAVIGATING GENERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS, CARE, AND CULTURAL IDENTITY.
