The Rubber Room is a play about the practice of confining "unfit" teachers to rooms where they sit in limbo waiting for their cases to come up. While some know what they have been accused of, many do not. So they sit and wait.
Artistic New Directions www.artisticnewdirections.org is a theatre development company that came up with the innovative idea of giving the play to five different theatre companies. Each company rehearsed it with its own set of five actors.
Twenty-five performances were scheduled, each with a different group of five actors, none of whom had rehearsed together. In the first round of five performances, none of the actors had previously seen the set.
In the second round they have all seen the set at least once, but none of the five actors in each performance have rehearsed or done the play together.
