Open-source Theatre

Open-source Theatre

Coming soon to San Diego, California
Swarming with local writers, directors, designers and actors.

What is "open-source"?
Usually referring to the practice of providing access to the source code for software, allowing for manipulation and programming by users, "open source" is a state of mind that relies heavily on the collected ideas of a large, non-hierarchical group of individuals. Open source projects can thrive only through transparency, integrity, and dedication to the task at hand.

So what is an open source theatre?
Primarily, we work with sources that have no copyright. Ideally, those sources (text, music, dance, video) are created by our team. On a deeper level, the open source creation process then allows for an incubation period where we get to know the material. Readings, workshops and exercises are utilized, and every idea is explored for inspiration.

Where do you perform?
Wherever and whenever we can. Living rooms, coffee shops, public parks, and even (sometimes) legitimate theatres.

What should the audience expect?
To be surprised, inspired, pissed off, rotated, adjusted, malfunctioned, rebooted, rewritten and rewired.

Patrons should expect a story-telling experience relying heavily on the generous talents of the creative team. we place an emphasis on innovation, team work, and a steadfast belief that theatre plays an important role in our community.

And with that, a theatre is born.
