The Forge
Theater Lab
The Forge Theater Lab was founded in 2018 as a start up theater company by the alumni of Fitchburg State University. Shows were run, produced, and performed by the alumni of FSU. The Forge Theater Lab unfortunately closed operations in 2022 after 4 seasons.
The Forge Theater Lab is however making a resurgence later this year. Revived by a driven and passionate team: Theater Director James Estes, Assistant Theater Director Kyra Galbreath, and Treasurer Ryan Baker. We are looking to Expanding The Forge Theater Lab beyond that of just Fitchburg, Massachusetts and Fitchburg State University.
With talks about expanding it beyond the limitation of theater and broadening it to film as well. Where we are looking to shoot, produce, and film alumni screenplays in the future.
We are currently expanding our digital presence and building a brand-new virtual home. In the meantime, you can explore our roots by clicking the link below.
