The company had challenging beginnings. Rehearsals were held in the apartment of the two founders and other unconventional spaces, like church basements and backrooms of bars, and performances often had very small audiences. The company's first official production was "Women in Beckett," an anthology of short plays by Samuel Beckett for women, performed in the lobby of the Theater for the New City in November 1991, exploring the creation of liminal spaces in a theatre that was consistently disturbed by other performances.
