DEVELOPMENTAL
HISTORY:
Frequency Hopping is the winner of the 2007
STAGE International Script Competition and was developed, in part,
through the University of California, Santa Barbara, STAGE Project by
the Professional Artist Lab (Nancy Kawalek, Director) and the
California NanoSystems Institute. It was originally
commissioned and developed with the support of the Ensemble Studio
Theatre/Sloan Project. Further development was made possible by a
grant from the Drama League Director’s Project’s New Directors/New
Works Program, and by a 2002 residency at Yaddo. It
has been additionally developed through readings at the Women's
Project, New York Theatre Workshop,
Ensemble Studio Theatre and New Georges. On December 6, 2001, Frequency
Hopping was read by Isabel Keating and Tony Torn at Location
One as part of the In Hot Pursuit Series.
