Progression
Although a lot of our inspiration may come from historical work, we do not use that as an excuse to stay in historical values. We champion stories and casting from all demographics and want to create a safe community for all to feel welcome and valued.

Collaboration

Most of our work is devised and highly character driven. As such, we really value each company member and performer’s input, life experience, and open heartedness to bring these stories to life.

Innovation

You will not find anyone with more respect for the original text than us. However, in our storytelling, we pick themes and characters that have something particular to say and expand on that, turning the text on its head and bringing something new, exciting, and relevant to a modern audience. The venues we choose are another character in our shows, bringing an immersive quality to the subject matter. We are constantly playing with the way we perform shows, challenging the traditional theatre experience.

Gothic

Although we may play around and experiment in our storytelling, our work will always be related to the themes in Gothic Fiction. The motifs of the genre are great tools for us to heighten our thoughts and feelings on various subjects and something we will always feel connected to.
