Troy Foundry Theatre returns with the fourth annual Half-Baked Festival of Emerging Work, running September 18-28, 2025 at The Waiting Room (19 3rd St. in Troy, NY). This festival celebrates the unfinished, the audacious, and the revolutionary in theatre-making. We believe some of the most exciting theatrical discoveries happen in development—when work is still breathing, evolving, and finding its voice. Programming will include a rotating blend of new plays, devised work-in-progress, and non-traditional projects that explore fear, transformation, power, desire, the body, the supernatural, memory, myth, and the strange possibilities of being human. Specific programming and schedule will be announced soon.

Theatre driven by inquiry and practice.

We are Troy Foundry Theatre; we explore the social issues of today by collaborating with a variety of artists from multiple disciplines to produce and perform new work and reinterpreted classics through the means of new writing, devising and immersive performances.

We inquire. We mould. We create.
