A theatre company created by and generated from the entirety of our rich, diverse community.
Third Culture Theatre was founded in Los Angeles as a way to cultivate work which tells the stories of marginalized and unheard persons. Theatre is naturally tied to the communities which it exists within by proximity, by space, by mutual support, and above all, by listening and openly communicating with each other. We want to help tell the stories of those who rarely see themselves represented on stage. We are interested in bringing the marginalized to the center, not only because we believe it to be politically essential or because we have found ourselves at this periphery–although both are true–but also because we believe the fabric of theatre is the product of the world around it; theatre is a space to build community and unite people of radically divergent backgrounds. Third Culture ties together the common fringes of threads in the tapestry of our journeys.
All of our productions offer space to those who have frequently been denied it, either by promoting new works which tell the stories of peoples who have been traditionally disenfranchised, or by taking radical approaches to canonical works which allow for new complications and giving voice to those who were originally denied access to these texts.
