Outside the Lines is a collective of resourceful and scrappy theatre artists located in New York City. After members found themselves jumping from one self produced project to another, they finally accepted the thrilling mission of getting a theatre company off the ground. 

Our work sprawls beyond genre, medium, and process–sometimes taking the form of established musicals and others focused on the development of new works. Through it all we seek to produce ensemble-driven work that explores girlhood, womanhood and all the messiness in between. 

Amidst a climate of increased polarization, isolation, and miseducation, we are committed to creating theatre that speaks to the nuances of our current political landscape. By connecting with the communities around us and engaging with shared experiences we truly believe we can inspire a greater good. And maybe, better yet, begin to shape one for the people around us. 

Furthermore, we are dedicated to challenging the habits of institutional theatre in order to create equitable spaces.

Outside the Lines is launching a new play development series, Growing Work, this June! This first new work series will feature two new comedy staged readings each focused on coming of age stories.

Support these playwrights, creatives, and our producing team as we strive to create in these impossible times. Each contribution counts - rehearsal space, printing, and more can add up. So, in this world of a cancelled NEA, please contribute if you can! We are working to create comedies, joyful stories, and universal stories. We hope this series is a place where everyone can come together and laugh.
