Who Are We?
Theatre Unmade is a performing arts production company based in Guelph, Ontario.
The goal of Theatre Unmade is to tell stories and create opportunities that are overlooked or neglected by other companies. We prioritize youth voices and diverse voices in our work. Fun, collaboration, and the magic of theatre are also key elements in the work of this company.
Our name comes from the idea of taking the regular way of doing things, deconstructing it, and building it back into something new. Like a knitted sweater that can be pulled apart into the fundamental and universal yarn before being turned into something completely new.
Our Mission!
The mission of Theatre Unmade is to:
-
Create opportunities for young emerging artists.
-
Produces exciting and entertaining original theatre that is unique from that being produced by other local companies.
-
Actively support and promote the stories and voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ (Queer), BIPOC, and Disabled artists.
-
Continue to innovate and push the boundaries of tech and production at this scale.
-
Improve accessibility to live theatre.
