Mission:
Curtain going up on the exciting Out of the Box Theatre Company!
It’s special and different from any theatre company in the country. As the name might suggest, Out of the Box is outside the box of theatrical tradition and convention.
Our mission is special… It’s a mission with a cause… And it’s for seniors… Artists and Patrons… Like no other company in NYC!
- To feature working professionals at their peak and in their prime: seasoned actors, directors & designers primarily past 50 years of age
- To donate complimentary tickets, (up to 25% of each performance’s seating capacity), to lower-income seniors and/or disabled patrons through various organizations throughout New York City.
- To present new interpretations of period plays and contemporary classics: works written in the last century and earlier
- To score each production with musical compositions that enhance mood, moment and mise-en-scene.
Our purpose is different… It sets us apart from all the rest!
To provide opportunity and freedom for artists to work outside the restrictions of age, race, sexual orientation and disability and inside the sphere of passion:
- To provide live theatre to the low-income and disabled population who might not attend our production otherwise
- To mix and blend the talents of playwright and composer in a musical landscape with a touch of farce and melodrama; and to open our dramatic productions to singers, dancers and musicians as well as actors.
Our vision for the future moves forward… step by step!
Breathing new life into theater works that have lived a long time is only one part of the equation for the Out of the Box Theatre Company. The other part is allowing actors who have lived a long time to bring the passions and talents gained by their unique experience to roles they may never have had a chance to play before.
