Sound Theatre Company

Sound Theatre Company moves audiences toward a more just and compassionate world through theatre, film, and artist empowerment. 

Sound Theatre Company an award-winning theatre company across disciplines, including Best of Festival (Feature) at the BAFTA-qualifying Superfest Disability Film Festival and Theatre of the Year at the Gregory Awards 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and nominee 2024. We are known for presenting theatrical work that humanizes difference on stage and committed to social justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and access in every aspect of our organization. 

We believe in accessible theatre for all. As part of our practice, we interrogate barriers to theatre that may be physical, cultural, or economic, on-stage and off. Sound Theatre Company was one of the first practitioners in the region of Radical Hospitality Ticket Pricing, allowing audiences to purchase tickets for any seat at a range of $5-75. As a community based organization, we operate at a fraction of the budget of larger, established producing organizations, yet continue to produce high-quality, impactful theatre.

Our artistic values include community, integrity, excellence, and mentorship. Recent producing partners have included Earthseed, Crip Riot, LANGSTON, The Hansberry Project, Deaf Spotlight, eSe Theatro, and more. 

Our Upcoming Work

A large part of our work is challenging and expanding the Western theatre canon. Through our Making Waves program, Sound Theatre develops new stories and supports upcoming playwrights and artists. In the past few years, Sound Theatre premiered several new mainstage shows through Making Waves, including the film Changer: A Hand Telling (2021) by Fern Naomi Renville and Roger Fernandes, Reparations (2020) by Darren Canady, and Nadeshiko (2017) by Keiko Green. Our 2024 season "An Invitation To The Table" included 53% Of by Steph Del Rosso, Making Waves Presents: The BASL Project by Rhonda Cochran and Irvine Stewart. 

We are excited for our 2025 Season: Nourishing our Collective Souls as it kicks off with Paul for Pete by Paul Mason Barnes, Hungry by Chris Bush, The Humans by Stephen Karam, and the William S. Yellow Robe Jr. Residency, a program dedicated to developing bold new works and amplifying underrepresented voices.

We envision a thriving, sustainable artist ecosystem - one where artists are compensated generously and make a living from their talent and artistry. Sound Theatre transitioned from a volunteer-run organization to a professionalized staff in 2020, many of whom are also artists. Sound Theatre pays arts professionals at a competitive rate thanks to the generosity of donors who believe in our shared vision of a just and compassionate world for all.
