The Theatre Lab at the Deering Estate at Cutler is a performance art series and residency opportunity developed in partnership with the Theatre League of South Florida - an alliance of theatrical organizations and professionals dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and advocating for the growth and prestige of the South Florida theatre industry.

Through monthly theater performances, workshops and lectures held at the Deering Estate at Cutler, these diverse theatrical opportunities will attract new audiences to this art form, provide rare professional development opportunities for actors and writers and test innovative approaches to theory and practice.

All programs are offered as a SUNDAY Matinee performance beginning at 2:30 (meet the artist reception at 2:00) in the Estate’s Visitor Center Exhibit Hall and will generally conclude at 4:00 pm. Free with Estate admission.

January 15, 2012: "Viewpoints Workshop" - South Florida Theatre League, Michael Yawney
Sometimes actors know everything, except how to act. They understand the character and story, but find themselves stuck in graceless, pointless, and dull stage movement. They need help channeling their instincts so that their insight and vitality can become visible to other actors (and the audience). Through physical improvisation the Viewpoints train the actor to act with their whole body creating eloquent visual images.

Additonal Theatre Labs will be offered on:
March 18, 2012: TBD
May 20, 2012: "Eliza Doolittle Dialect Workshop"
