Immediate Theatre Project is a young theatre company that aims to facilitate and invigorate artistic exchange between North American theatre communities, large and small.

To meet this goal, we strive to create professional, entertaining, and thought-provoking works of theatre in smaller, vibrant theatre communities like Asheville NC, and then showcase the productions in the more visible hubs of American theatre (such as New York, Chicago, Seattle).

In doing so, Immediate Theatre Project hopes to forge real, mutually beneficial collaborations between theatre professionals in the larger hubs and those in smaller theatre communities. We also hope to do what we can to decentralize theatre activity in North America by bringing recognition to the fact that high-quality, meaningful theatre is produced all over the continent, not just in the big cities.

We operate under the basic tenets that meaningful theatre should be immediate, i.e. :
    - collaborative and community-based
    - relevant and practical
    - visceral and thought-provoking
    - candid, direct, honest, and unpretentious, allowing the message of the piece to come through
    - accessible to diverse audiences

Script submission:
Theoretically, Immediate Theatre Project would like for new play development to be part of what we do as we move forward, but we are held back by budgetary limitations (among others) and don't foresee this happening in our 0910 season. However, If you would like to submit a script, you may do so by email at scripts@immediatetheatre.org or by post at either address. If you submit a script by mail but would like to have it back, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. We will read any script you send to us but be aware that our seasons and resources exist on a somewhat limited scale, so opportunities to stage new work are precious. Things we like, given our limited resources: small casts, possibility for minimalist staging. Things we like, given our particular artistic bent: see end of mission statement, above.
