The Allison Project

"Since the studio was established in 1992, I have had the pleasure of teaching, coaching and working with many talented artists. Many times, they have had projects or ideas for projects, but no space in which to perform these new works. The Allison Project is a performance opportunity provided by the studio to our students, alumni and faculty at no charge. This endeavor is named for and dedicated to my late niece, Allison Pamela Henry, whose inspiration to me is ongoing, and which I now hope extends to my artistic associates."

- Laura Henry

Since its inception in 1997, The Allison Project has produced, developed and sponsored both new, original plays such as:

The Visit by Henriette Mantel, directed by Laura Henry

Four Buddhas by Stephen Hornyak, directed by Laura Henry

Estonia You Fall directed by John Levy

Plays by Jeff Crockett, Mike Woelegger and others

A number of established plays have also been performed as part of the project, including:

Zoo Story by Edward Albee

Night Mother by Marsha Norman

Here We Are by Dorothy Parker

Postcards by Carol Mack

Performances over the years have also included music, stand-up comics, paintings and photographs by talented artists. One goal of The Allison Project is to provide an environment where artists are free to experiment, develop and perform without any limiting financial responsibilities. The project is intended to benefit both artists who want their work seen by industry professionals, as well as those who want to try out new material before an audience without having to be reviewed.
