ABOUT TIME OUT! PRODUCTIONS:
Time Out! Productions is an immersive, audience-centered theatre company based in Baltimore, MD, dedicated to building playful, artful worlds where connection comes first.
We are an artist-led collective creating participatory theatre experiences that blend installation, character-driven encounters, guided interaction, games, dance, and live performance. Our work brings people together in real life—especially during moments of isolation, uncertainty, or social disconnection.
We believe that gathering, play, intimacy, and creativity are not luxuries—they are survival tools. Time Out! Productions creates spaces where people can move through fear together and emerge with renewed imagination, care, and a sense of belonging.

HOW TO SHIT IN PUBLIC, (created by Nina Fry) is an audio/visual experience that takes place inside an outhouse. A glowing, UFO like mothership toilet in the middle of a dark forest. You enter, lock the door and put on headphones. The sound and lightscape will weave interviews, live recordings, written text, found text, opera and other source materials to take the audience on a journey to discover what their experience as a fetus may have been like. Along the way, they will learn about the dark history of birth in this country and the bright future we can collectively help to build.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE, (created by Sindy Butz) is piece that employs coffee as an icebreaker to explore matrescence, the profound physiological and psychological transformation experienced by mothers. Through this transformation, mothers shape future generations by transmitting values, fostering emotional intelligence, and establishing the foundation for a more empathetic society. This process is frequently accompanied by intense feelings of loneliness, which arise from significant shifts in identity, the absence of communal support structures, and a sense of disconnection from one's former self. Mothers serve as architects of the new generation. This performance extends an invitation to reestablish connections among individuals.
Coffee’s On Us is a free community space pop-up designed to offer women and gender expansive people a warm, welcoming environment to gather, work, and connect.

This incredible program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. We couldn't be more pleased that the DCLA has partnered with us to advance gender equity in the arts and support our initiatives to cultivate new feminist works.
There are 15 spots, first come first serve. We would love for participants to commit to all 5 weeks. If you’d like to participate, but can only come to certain dates, let us know and we will accommodate as many folks as possible.
The Devising Jam is a chance for actors and makers to work the muscles of ensemble devising and collaborative creation in a low stakes, fun way! Performers don't often get the chance to practice ensemble devising without committing their time (and often money) to a long term process and long term group of people.
Each week participants will have a chance to create a new piece of theater in different groups based on a prompt. Through the following sessions they will either throw it all away and start fresh next time or revisit something that sparked excitement from a previous session and develop it further.
Who knows! Participants may even discover creative prompts or relationships that they will take away from the workshop and keep working with! (We have already had a piece created at The Devising Jam developed and performed at a theater festival last summer!)
This is an invited workshop for folks that we have come across in the physical theater/devising/clown worlds and want to gather together! If you have other folks you think would be interested in participating in this, please send them our way!
