About the Theatre
4th Wall Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization founded in 2011 by Kim Tobin-Lehl and Philip Lehl. Our mission is to produce extraordinary professional theatrical experiences and to set a high standard for excellence in acting, direction, and design. We believe that by paying artists a fair wage, we can grow and sustain the community of professional theatrical artists in Houston. We believe in developing and promoting the highest aesthetic of acting that is truthful, by producing exciting, cutting-edge, live theatre. In the future, our dream is that 4th Wall’s attention to excellence in performance will attract not only the best theatrical artists in Houston, but also the best theatrical artists in the country. Believing that our ethical monetary treatment of these artists will inspire other theatres to mimic our mission, we dream of a day when these artists will not only call Houston home, but will be able to ply their trades without needing to work any other job. We aim toward a day when sustained theatrical excellence inspires our audience and community to hold our art and the artists who make it to be an indispensable and valued part of life in Houston.Auditions
