Consider the raw power of groupthink: hordes of collectors losing their minds over the latest consumer fad, hundreds of followers duped by a charismatic leader, and entire communities gripped by irrational panic. How do so many people come to share the same bizarre beliefs? How would we know if we are the ones who are deluded? Writing for the actors in this season’s Professional Training Company, three fearless playwrights dive into the absurd and sometimes hilarious world of collective delusion, and the alarming places it can lead.

The Professional Training Company (PTC) produces a full season of shows focused on new works and emerging artists. Members of the company produce, support, and participate in some or all of these productions in roles corresponding with their apprenticeship area of focus.
