Necessary Angel Theatre

About

Necessary Angel Theatre Company is dedicated to fully exploring the theatrical arts by creating original work that challenges assumptions and engages multiple points of view, while seeking to provoke and astonish.

Story

We are dedicated to creating theatrical events that have an immediacy and vitality. Those who create theatre are in a position to ask questions in public that are too dangerous to ask on television. We are able to tell stories without the machinery of cinema, without the pressures of million dollar budgets. We can speak directly to matters of immediate importance, or enter into the most elusive of mysteries through the ritualized nature of theatre.
