-Founded in the Sarasota area]]> 2017-10-30 15:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201765568 Mission ashton2298 https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201766166 "Creating the new generation of Theatre..."
Urbanite Theatre is all about providing opportunities for emerging artists and starting conversation. An Urbanite show shouldn't just be "good", it should be thought provoking. Every show at Urbanite hopes to push the envelope (or in the case of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, completely open it).

As prices have increased, theatre has become  practically unaffordable. Urbanite offers a special pricing for student tickets and for anyone under 40 (opposed to the standard "senior discount"), and students can view previews for free. ]]> 2017-10-30 15:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201766166 The Urbanite difference ashton2298 https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201766630 Themes are just a marketing device. At Urbanite, the "theme" of each season is "thought provoking". Urbanite strives to stay current and fresh, putting on shows only from the last 5 years, making them solely focused on contemporary plays as of now. The reason for the focus on contemporary works is so that they can tackle today's issues; sexuality (Chicken Shop), modern relationships (Lungs), growing up (Dry Land), and literally anything (White Rabbit Red Rabbit), every show at Urbanite is meant to make you think. Urbanite strives for equal opportunities and diverse casting, hoping to provide an opportunity for everyone to act and/or think.]]> 2017-10-30 15:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201766630 17/18 Season ashton2298 https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201767331 NAMING TRUE

This list was founded in 2013, and has a small list of requirements for eligibility to be on the Kilroys list. The shows must not be on any of the previous lists, have received one or no professional productions, be among the top of all the plays submitted for this year, and be written by a female or trans author.]]> 2017-10-30 15:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201769561 Faculty/ Board of Directors ashton2298 https://padlet.com/nannis1/321cckjo0g48/wish/201770956
