The Lab
Where experiments are held, connections are made, and stories begin
The Lab is an underground 50-seat studio and workshop space. It is a home for the seeds of ideas, rooted in experimentation, and the growth of artists, communities, and their work.
TRP will platform emerging work across two seasons, supported by its Associate Directors and producing team. It will cultivate diverse audiences who will invest in and support the future life of new productions through feedback and conversation.
As well as being a space for performance, The Lab will also be a home for communities and young people to connect through opportunities that support their development and passion, from the ages of 0-100.
The Lab Spring Season
Good Orgasm | EXPERIMENT Work In Progress
Raina is trying to figure out how to have good sex, whatever that means. Featuring burlesque, diary entries, affirmations, and lots of semi-comfortable lingerie, Good Orgasm looks to redefine what we imagine sex positivity can be.
Once called a “deranged Carrie Bradshaw”, Raina will bring you a disgustingly intimate look at desperation, loneliness, and kink.
