The Pipeline Project exists to directly invest in local performing artists and provide solid pathways to production at the professional level. The Pipeline Project does not confine itself to any traditional methods of commission or residency, though it is an artist residency program. The nature and structure of each residency will be different, catering to the needs of the artists involved.
New Rep is excited to introduce our first-ever Pipeline Project Residents. We are delighted to have Claire Koenig developing her full-length play, DYKER BYKES, directed by Molly Houlahan, and to have a commission for James Milord*, Brandon G. Green*, JāQuan Malik Jones and Regine Vital, currently titled, The Fatherhood Project (title tbd). James, Brandon, and JāQuan are exploring the intersection of what it means to be a Black man and a father in our past, present, and future.
DYKER BYKES by Claire Koenig, Directed by Molly Houlahan
A new kid gets swept up in the annual road trip of a disreputable lesbian biker crew. DYKER BYKES is a queer fantasy about freedom, inheritance, and butch-ass dyke culture. [Age advisory 16+]
The Fatherhood Project by James Milord*, Brandon G. Green*, JāQuan Malik Jones and Regine Vital, Directed by Brandon G. Green*
Inspired by autobiographical solo works created by James and JāQuan, New Rep is commissioning these artists to be in conversation with one another, exploring the intersection of being Black men in America and what it means to be a father.
