Backstage Ensemble

Built with local hands

Live performance in Dayton belongs to the people who build the risers, wire the dimmer packs, and memorize dialogue over late kitchen tables. Our productions rely entirely on local talent working in collaborative rehearsal rooms.

From first read-through to strike night, seasoned actors mentor high school apprentices on stage blocking, carpentry, and light cues, creating an artistic pipeline grounded in the Miami Valley.

Our Standard

Great theatre belongs within walking distance, priced for every neighbor.

We reject steep ticket barriers and exclusive civic institutions. Every production reserves subsidized community seating and open audition slots for performers of all backgrounds.

Take your place on stage

Whether you are holding a script at open auditions, running backstage spotlight cues, or reserving front-row seats for opening night, our rehearsal doors stay open.
