COMPANY ORIGIN

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Believe it or not, the idea for this company was born on Wednesday, June 3, 2020. In his announcement of arrest charges for the murder of George Floyd; Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison mentioned twice that (among others) it’s up to the arts and entertainment arena to help affect and advance change in our society.

 

I LEAPT...and I mean LEAPT, FROM MY SEAT ONTO MY FEET...it was as if he was talking directly to me through the television. THIS WAS THE SIGN for which I had been waiting all these years to ignite the creation of my purpose. Yes, 'Princeton'...I said PURPOSE!

​

I’m not really an “on the front lines” protest organizer kind of person, but rather one who ponders carefully what “lil’ ole me” can do to help make a difference. As always, the universe pointed me back to the theatre, and it got very real very quick. Theatre is what I know how to do and have been doing it for over 40 years - so that’s where my efforts needed to be focused.

​

As the COVID-19 pandemic raged on and on…and on; little by little I found my voice, took copious notes and decided to "plot and scheme" the creation of my own theatre company; taking bits and pieces from everything I've learned along the way. I'm hoping we can create a safe space for outside the box thinking and satisfy specific niches that aren’t currently being filled.

​

I will 100% acknowledge that a long, hard road is ahead; but I have to say I tried with all my heart and soul “to get into some good trouble”. To be honest, I think I’ve lost my mind...thinking I can start a theatre company so late in life; with all its inherent challenges, disappointments and constant obstacles. But down deep I'm a survivor and this is what I want my legacy to be for generations to come. I want to be proud of myself and you to be proud of us. However; slow and steady, meticulous and measured will win this race...so let's make some theatre, good theatre!
