THE LAST STOP
A STAGED READING SERIES
Dedicated to platforming bold, boundary-pushing plays from underrepresented artists-- plays that speak to the moment we're living in and are ready for production.
SPRING SELECTION
Bushwick gays Danny and Ike are getting married! But they’re running out of time to decide what that means. When a confident third introduces them to fresh sexual dynamics, their growing secrets threaten to tear them apart. Perhaps literally. Cuck, Cuck, Bull is a new traumedy about losing your way in the endless labyrinth of the Internet. This outrageous exploration of a modern queer subculture explores the dark side of mainstream acceptance and to what lengths couples will go to maintain a sense of the taboo.

what people are saying
BARBARA SCHULMAN, OXFORD TALENT MANAGEMENT
"An exciting new player on the scene! While other showcases allow any actor who can afford it to participate, this company thoroughly screens their prospective talent and is committed to bringing in skilled actors who are also kind and hard-working people-- I know this because I now represent a handful of them! Additionally, their dedication to accessibility, equity, and authenticity within this industry is apparent in everything they do. I consider myself a fan and will continue to support this company and attend their events!"
KIM IVY FULLER,
JANUARY SHOWCASE, SIGNED WITH VOLITION ENTERTAINMENT
Thank you so much for demolishing the gatekeeping model of this industry through this showcase. I'm so in awe of how you champion others and have created a safe and fun environment for everyone to uplift each other. Cannot emphasize my gratitude for the MOS squad enough. I hope I can pay it forward ASAP!
SOPHIA HILLER,
HILLER CASTING
Making Our Space is an amazing garden for creativity, talent, and passion to thrive. Their intimate setting is home to a remarkable ensemble of actors who pour their hearts in to every scene, creating a labor of love out of every performance. It is evident that the team works tirelessly to create a platform to open doors for its actors and allow them to express themselves freely. Making Our Space is a place where talent shines and is truly a testament to the power of community.
GUS CHILDRES,
AUGUST SHOWCASE, SIGNED WITH OXFORD TALENT MANAGEMENT
MOS made the single biggest impact on me both personally and professionally. It gave me the platform to cut through all the red tape. I met my manager...I booked a role in a local theater company's original production...I will always have immense gratitude for MOS and the people behind it.

HELP US EDUCATE
Specialized classes and training should be accessible to all artists
We’re building out the educational arm of our company — in true Making Our Space fashion. Forget your standard studio workshops or undergrad-style classes. We're crafting a curriculum that digs into the real nuances of being a theatre artist today.
These classes are for the creators. The self-producers. The actors with a niche. The ones hungry to expand their craft on their own terms.
More soon. Stay close.
