Led by artistic director Zachary Elkind, The MAP Theater produces new and classic plays asking how we can find a way forward in community with other people. We're especially interested in plays where every character is trying to do the right thing — where tensions or conflicts come not from the presence of evil among them but from the fact that it is hard to be with others, that we all have different needs and desires, even as we try to work together. We're curious about care, in systems and structures and networks of care, the way(s) we struggle/fail/succeed in taking care of each other, in giving care to each other. What would theater look like if we focused on, rather than the duel/debate/argument, the conversation?

Previous work includes: James Joyce’s Exiles (2025), Shakespeare’s Richard II  (2022), and the world premiere of Rachel Vail's If We Kiss (2024). Upcoming projects include our first feature film, an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.
