Announcing Our 2024 Book Club1/4/2024 Happy New Year! As 2024 begins, we invite you to join us in a book club as we develop our next production. We are interested in exploring how hope functions, and how it’s sustained by people who don’t know if they’ll ever see victory. In dark times, it seems as though reality tells us to flee, to ignore the problem, or to focus on only small-scaled solutions. Yet we see throughout history that our greatest victories were won after many tireless individuals and movements sustained their hope and kept working despite the dark circumstances. How did they do it? How did they have the stamina to carry on when self-interest, opposing movements, and conspiracy theories / misinformation provided easy outs? Theater in Asylum is embarking on something of a character study, of a character who has repeated throughout history. Who is this person who hopes in the darkness, who works in the darkness, and who keeps at it when all seems lost? We know that person is alive and working today. How do we help them, and in doing so, help ourselves and everyone? Join us for a book club to explore these ideas, starting with… Hope in the Dark

Thank YOU for propelling our spaces to be vibrant springboards for new research- and ensemble-driven theater! (👀 Look back at all you made possible in 2023, here.) With 2024 just around the corner, we’re thrilled to unveil our plans for our 14th year:
To make this all a reality, we’re launching our 2024 Fundraiser with a goal of $11,000. As always the majority of that money goes directly towards paying artists. Donations are tax-deductible and, as an extra thank you for donating, we have a number of lovely perks for you to choose from, including a tarot card reading and Rick’s famous cookies! We are so grateful for all that you have made possible these past 13 years, and we look ahead to 2024 with eagerness and hope. Thank you so, so much. Peace, power, and love to you, Paul, Katie, and Kathryn Meet TIA's new Assistant Director!11/21/2023 Welcome Mira Calliope Rice!
