Project Description

Theatre Roscius is an independent, Los Angeles-based experimental, performance art / physical theatre, and research company. It is founded on the simple idea that stories must be shared. That the simple act of sharing, when individuals gather to explore the many facets of being human, ultimately reveals our hidden similarities, and people otherwise easily mistaken for strangers, foreigners, outcasts, when put together in one room, can find they have always known one another. Theatre Roscius aims to create innovative, relevant, and compassionate theatre.

​Theatre Roscius produces theatre that enriches the mental and physical health and lives of women of all kinds. We seek to educate, support, and inspire female theatre artists at all levels of artistic development in order to produce theatre that enriches the mental + physical health and lives of Black women and women of all backgrounds.

Our work is dedicated to the amplification of avant-garde theatre by Black women, women of color, and women of all backgrounds locally and globally. We are building and re-imagining what theatre is in America by focusing on the empowerment of women physically. The work we create is informed, inspired, and in service to our community, our theatre artists, and our audiences.
