Cornerstone Theater Company has been collaborating with communities for over 35 years. Our work reflects complexity, disrupts assumptions, welcomes difference, and amplifies joy. We aim to advance a more compassionate, equitable, and just world. Our plays celebrate many voices, and are staged in theaters and in parking lots, in factories, schools, subway stations, parks, and now, online. We strive to include people who have not been on stage or even seen theater. We have taken up residence in small towns and urban neighborhoods, collaborating with locals from start to finish to tell their unique stories through theater. By combining the artistry of people with many levels of theatrical experience, we act upon the conviction that artistic expression is civic engagement and that access to a creative forum is essential to the wellness and health of every individual and community.
