The HB Ensemble

The HB Ensemble is a joint project of the HB Studio and the HB Playwrights Foundation designed to bridge the gap between the classroom and the stage by giving serious actors who are well-versed in their technique and ready to make a responsible and ethical commitment to the future of their art, the opportunity to perform and participate in all aspects of theatre production. The Ensemble is an extension of the Studio’s training program, and as members of the group, actors are encouraged to continue their development in all aspects of theatrical craft. The Ensemble meets twice monthly to share and reflect on work-in-progress. Members may initiate workshop projects for development within the HB Studio classroom spaces, and the group presents two full productions annually in the HB Playwrights Foundation Theatre.

Selection is by audition before the Ensemble’s Faculty Advisory Committee and the Studio’s Executive Director. Auditions are held annually in January, during the Winter term. Students must be enrolled at the Studio in order to be eligible to apply, and in order to remain active with the group.
