Working Group Theatre
Working Group believes that a play is an event that starts when an audience member decides to come to a performance and ends long after the curtain has come down. Our work onstage and off seeks new ways to engage our community and challenge the definition of a play. Through new work and fresh interpretations of established plays, we explore today's world through heightened theatricality, moments of beauty and a never-ending sense of play and surprise.
