Bingham Camp Theatre Retreat focuses on the development of new work for the stage that promotes and celebrates diversity. Located in the woods of Salem, CT, it is a rural retreat where theatre artists create work that gives voice to underrepresented communities onstage. With an emphasis on non-traditional casting, multi-ethnic participants and bold theatricality, it offers a unique opportunity for theatre makers to develop new plays and musicals that encourage dialogue between cultures.
