The VTL was founded in 1996 by Dr. George Popovich. Since that time our productions have garnered national and international acclaim and have inspired others to explore the realm of digital theater.

Methodology

We take a long time to produce our shows. We thoroughly examine all aspects of the technology and carefully construct the theatrical worlds we create for our shows. Hence our productions receive professional and media attention because of the artistic integrity of our work.

Mission

Henry Ford Community College’s Virtual Theatricality Lab is dedicated to forging the live performance technologies of the 21st century and beyond. Astounding new media innovations are redefining the nature of live performance. Technologies such as digital video, stereoscopic 3D high-definition projection, motion tracking, telematics, “smart theater” spaces and real time virtual reality environmental navigation software are available for use by serious theatrical artists. The VTL exists to nurture the daring creative visions of performers, designers, and technicians who will embrace the multidimensional technological performance arena of the New Age of theater production
