Created from a desire to use our theatre space to make a home for new theatrical works, and a place for emerging artists to flex their wings, Stripped Bare is an incubator to test-drive new ideas. Stripped Bare is about theatre at its core. A Stripped Bare project is not about sets, lights, props, and costumes. It is about actors, words, passion, movement, and ideas.
25 - 26 Applications OPEN NOW!
Stripped Bare is Synchronicity’s home for new theatrical work and artists in exploration. Created from a desire to use our theatre space as a platform for bold ideas, Stripped Bare is an incubator for developing new work—without the pressure of a full production.
This is a chance to get a project on its feet, play with form, push personal boundaries, or reimagine something familiar. The focus is on process, not polish. No sets. No lights. No props. Just actors, words, movement, and the heart of the work.
If you’re an emerging or working artist with a project ready for discovery, we encourage you to apply.
Applications close May 12 at 11:59 PM.

A Stripped Bare project...
Is on its feet.
Plays with form.
Experiments with an artistic idea.
Pushes personal artistic boundaries.
Re-imagines classics or creates brand new work.
Is driven by the art.
It is not...
A staged reading.
A full production. Seriously. So that means, there is no…
- Set (There is no rigging, no flats, no repainting of the space, no changing of the curtain placements.)
- Lights (You can use our rep plot, but there is no re-focusing. We encourage you to think simply if you do any cuing.)
- Sound (You can have a few sound cues, but no mics.)
- Projector (With very rare exceptions)
- Props (You may bring in and use simple, minimal furniture or props.)
