About 12 Minutes Max
12 Minutes Max is a performance lab for new and experimental works, first developed by On the Boards in 1981. In this series, artists present 12 minutes of material, while audiences get an opportunity to be the first to see works-in-progress, some of which will go on to become full-length pieces. 12 Minutes Max has inspired similar programs in Vancouver, B.C., Bellingham, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and Houston. Works presented range from performance art to dance, from experimental theater to sound art, from spoken word to comedy, and more.

Support for the 2026-27 season of 12 Minutes Max at Base comes from our organizational partnership with On The Boards and generous individual donors to the Flourish Campaign.
