2007 Caffe Cino Fellowship and New York Innovative Theatre Award winning Rising Phoenix Repertory was founded in 1999 by Artistic Director Daniel Talbott. The phoenix takes the energy of the old, combines it with the new, and soars into the future. By learning from the traditions of the past and the teachings of the present, we want to rediscover the craft of a raw and vital living theatre. Rising Phoenix Rep is a company in development – we started by producing an ongoing reading series of new plays, and have added workshops and festivals, layering in more work as we move towards the goal of producing a full season. Rising Phoenix Rep serves as a home base for a company of theatre professionals that encourages an open exchange of work and ideas within the greater theatre community. Rising Phoenix Rep is a proud member of the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York.
