Founded in 1996, New Paradise Laboratories (NPL) is comprised of six actor/designers, a roster of guest artists, and Whit MacLaughlin, the founding Artistic Director. A company of performers who have worked and trained together for fourteen years, all members share a common theatrical vocabulary born of the pedagogy that MacLaughlin has developed. NPL has created at least one original theatre piece each year since its founding. Typically, each new theatre work is the product of one to three years of research, development, and rehearsal, and premieres in Philadelphia.

Organization Description
New Paradise Laboratories (NPL) was founded to create surprising, meticulous, spiritually challenging, and wholly distinctive experimental theatre productions that investigate the human body and its capacity for physical expression, on-stage and in lfe. These productions are invented using collaborative creative processes developed by the company. The subject matter of these productions varies but the work tends to value wild humor, shock, a concern for history, a muscular visual sensibility, and a fascination with the utopian impulse.
