How would you feel about being able to influence the trajectory of a play from the ground level? Art House Productions will let you do just that. INKubator New Play Festival is about the art of the staged reading and the power of the audience. You'd be hard pressed to find a theatergoer unfamiliar with a staged production, and yet so many audience members have never experienced a staged reading. The former brings you all the pomp and circumstance of a fully realized world, complete with scenic, costume, sound, lighting design, and more. Most of what you'd find on a Broadway stage is a great example of a [staged] production. The latter is solely reliant on its author, actors, and the audience. It is exactly as it sounds: you are watching the actors read the script aloud, from their seats on stage.

Some answers to those questions are in a new show now playing at Paper Mill Playhouse. The world premier of Take the Lead introduces a new musical based on the 2006 movie of the same name. It tells the true story of Pierre Dulaine who was a champion ballroom dancer.
