HB Studio
began in 1945 and aims for a meaningful dramatic expression of the
times and country in which we live. To help establish a theatre of
experimentation based on classic tradition, the Studio is dedicated to
the development of individual artists, who may actively contribute to a
theatre of national character. Conceived as an artistic and working
home, it offers an outlet for practice and growth for the professional
theatre artist, and an opportunity for the young to establish roots in
their intended craft. The Studio's guiding principle is creative freedom, which has as its logical consequence responsibility to a noble art. Learn more at www.hbstudio.org.
