4 Seasons Residency is a collaboration between Ignition Arts, Seven Devils New Play Foundry, Tofte Lake Center, and LAUNCH PAD. Our collective mission is to provide year-long, life-changing support to an artist who voices the kaleidoscopic American experience. 4 Seasons is in its 3rd year; LAUNCH PAD is proud to be part of this unique program.
