The Artistic Resident Program at The Larking House Theatre Company is a year long in house theatrical residency. This program aims to provide a space for local theatre artists  to exercise their craft through professional collaboration and practical application. Resident artists are ideally dedicated to upholding The Larking House Theatre Company’s mission and values through the work that they produce and are looking to increase their knowledge of the Theater Arts as a whole.

With this program, we intend to build a family of creatives devoted to making each other better through their individual and mutual artistic endeavors. 

 

Our artist-centered mission statement and highly driven leadership team create a spectacular environment for artists to gain real world grassroots creative experience. We are constantly looking for new perspectives to help us grow and our residents have the unique opportunity to help us continue to build our company’s reputation in the community on a deeply personal level that you cannot find anywhere else.
