The mission of True Story Theater is to promote social healing by listening deeply to people's stories and transforming them spontaneously into theater. Our events create a respectful atmosphere where every voice can be heard and any story told - however ordinary or extraordinary, difficult or joyful. True Story Theater offers audiences fresh perspectives, deeper connections, and a renewed appreciation for our common humanity.

Description:
We perform for a wide variety of community groups, such as for people in treatment for cancer, for staff at a school for children with special needs, for hospice volunteers, and for a teen program on diversity and leadership. We model and teach team-building and creative problem-solving through improvisational theatre tools. We have a lot of fun and do powerful work.

History:
Our company started in 2001, and has drawn together 18 talented people from backgrounds including acting, music, dance, education, health care, activism, and business. We have been moved to offer improvisational theatre to honor people and communities who are stressed and challenged. This year we are starting to work with several community groups on an ongoing basis.
