THE BUILDERS ASSOCIATION is an NYC-based, Obie Award–winning crossmedia performance company. We use the richness of new and old tools to extend the boundaries of theater, telling original stories that examine the impact of media on various cultures and communities.
Founded in 1994 by Marianne Weems, The Builders’ work is made by a core group of collaborators that includes Moe Angelos, Dan Dobson, James Gibbs, David Pence, Lawrence Shea, Austin Switser and Jennifer Tipton, in addition to hundreds of collaborators across creative disciplines.
The Builders are in final development for ATLAS DRUGGED (Tools for Tomorrow).
