Assembly Theatre
Assembly Theatre is the name we came up with back in Spring of 2023 when we were working on Twelfth Night. We felt like we had a critical mass of artists and momentum to try and start building an audience and make some things repeatable. At the time we were kicking around the idea of trying to become a “theater company.”
We’ve built another two shows since then, and we have even more momentum than before. Some people are getting excited about our shows. We’re learning how to produce theater repeatably and reliably. We’re growing as artists. However, I am a little resistant to trying to become a “theater company” in the traditional sense. I want to see how much of a stable community we can build without the hierarchy and set roles that you need to start a capitalist venture like that. We’ll see what the group ends up doing, but I want to see something more process-oriented and horizontal happen with Assembly. The details of that are being worked out, but stay tuned.
More immediately, we’re working on coming up with a season for 2025, so stay tuned for that as well!
