Theater is where the community gathers to explore the complexities of the human condition. We embody stories that reflect, reconsider and respond to the world around us. Our work requires cultivating imagination, collaboration, perseverance and a community of artisans working together to realize living moments. If the stories you want to see aren’t being staged, then dig in and get started. New forms of community demand stories, old stories retold and new ones never before heard. Oberlin Theater is about telling stories by making living art.
