The Playwrights Studio runs Oct. 19-26, and the two-week Theatre Lab will be held Nov. 30-Dec. 14.

Under the supervision of artistic director Philip Himberg and producing director Christopher Hibma, the initiatives are among the program's five annual Labs and Residencies for theatre artists and part of the 24 artist residency labs across many creative disciplines Sundance Institute offers annually.

"These fall labs provide unique and inspiring locations for these new and established artists to develop and explore their stories," said Himberg in a statement. "MASS MoCA allows the creators of these innovative musical theatre and ensemble-generated projects the time and space for collaboration and rehearsal, while the Playwrights Studio offers a home to our alumni who continue to grow and experiment and can take advantage of the retreat setting to focus solely on their work."

The artists selected for the fall session of Playwrights Studio at Flying Point in Water Mill, NY are David Cale 
(The History of Kisses, Palomino, A Likely Story, Lillian, Deep in a Dream of You, Smooch Music and The Redthroats), Dan LeFranc 
(playwright-in-residence of Playwrights Horizons; Troublemaker), Christopher Shinn
 (head of Playwriting at the New School for Drama; Dying City), José Rivera 
(The Motorcycle Diaries) and Cori Thomas
 (When January Feels Like Summer).
