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 Artists 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, a residency at Abrons Arts Center and by a 2002 residency at Yaddo. It has been additionally developed through readings or workshops at the Women's Project, New York Theatre Workshop, Location One, Ensemble Studio Theatre and New Georges. The program is supported in part by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Greenwall Foundation and Meet the Composer. Sponsored by Yamaha and Other Minds.
