Next Iteration Theater Presents grew out of the company's desire to share the space of the MATCH during their Core Company devised work rental time. The series offers performers of various genres the space for their performances.

• July 13: Ophelia's Rope and Friends - Ophelia's Rope is a two-person long form improv group that takes its inspiration from you. That’s right, you. A typical show is kicked off by Ophelia’s Rope asking its audience one or two random questions, proceeding to morph the answers into a setting, plot, and duo of unexpected, and sometimes quirky, characters. With no story predicted, no ending forecasted, Ophelia’s Rope wanders the worlds of imagination, coloring surprising scenes their audiences inspired.

• July 18: Driven Theatre Company's Race Exchange - People from all walks of life - Democrat, Republican, old, young, male, female, rich, poor - coming together to embrace and engage around the discussion of race will happen in this conversation. The evening will involve an open discussion around a "hard" question related to race that can only be discussed when a safe space has been established. The conversation will continue with a group selected genre used to create pieces that speak to the views represented in the group.

The conversation will be lead by Rachel Dickson, the founding Artistic Director of Driven Theater and a Licensed Master of Social Work with a sincere interest in using theater to discuss issues and didactic content.
