THEATRE YES
SAY YES TO LIVE THEATRE
Theatre Yes produces diverse artistic events that surprise, challenge and empower artists and audiences. Inspired by unique models of rehearsal and performance from around the world, we do not adhere to a traditional theatre season, choosing instead to focus on specific projects of interest, many of which are developed over time to ensure rewarding, quality experiences. Among our core values, we honour art and artists as forces of change, working to provoke greater insights and dialogue concerning our complex lives and world.
