Rajendra has been announced as part of the 2025 HB Residency!

HB Studio is dedicated to training and practice for the theater, and seeks to provide an environment for the nurturing and growth of theater artists. In pursuit of this goal, HB offers a limited number of one-week Rehearsal Space Residencies each year for the development of creative projects. The HB Rehearsal Space Residency is an opportunity for practicing theater artists to collaborate on experimental projects, develop new work, and share workshop presentations among peers and colleagues, for constructive critical feedback and mutual growth. (Please note, the residency’s focus is on rehearsal and development, not production, and we are unlikely to select projects which are primarily intended to “showcase” work). The Rehearsal Space Residency is an open opportunity; you do not have to be affiliated with HB Studio to apply. However we do ask that our resident artists work with us to engage with our community of students and faculty while in residence at HB.

Inspired by Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, waiting follows trapped drag queens

Chi-Chi and Cornbread as they wait atop the partially submerged club in St. Bernard Parish in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Surrounded by a dirty river of trash, dead bodies, debris, and hungry gators, the pair wait to be rescued.
