Local Theater Company discovers, develops, and produces exceptional new plays and theatrical works. We provide artists a fertile environment to grow their work, and cultivate audiences for new plays by including them in all stages of new play development. We believe theater is a local experience. When you elect to join an audience, you create a new community where, for that brief span of time, everyone is a local.
Local Theater Company’s vision is to tell the stories of our evolving world.
