We believe the world’s on fire.
That's why we make experimental, bold, and truthful theatre that matters now.
We train hard and push each other because this work is bigger than us. We believe in ensemble. This is a lab and a home for actors, directors, writers, and all artists who want to collaborate, grow, and work. We’re scrappy. We’re resourceful. We’re doers. And we’re not afraid to build it ourselves.
We make theatre for the overlooked, the overworked, and the unheard, and for anyone who’s been made to feel invisible. We want to inspire and remind others that when people come together with a purpose, nothing can stop them.
Theatre is a force for change.
Real stories. Real people.
