Producing Company
At Hand Theatre Company
At Hand Theatre Company's mission is to produce original work using sustainable means.
We give both emerging and established playwrights the chance to find their voices without having to be concerned with production values. Our directors, designers, and actors work collaboratively with playwrights on original texts – helping them shape the script, discussing relevant themes, negotiating the language of the play, and focusing the storytelling.
At Hand’s productions are created using environmentally conscious means, with limited materials. We have been disturbed with the impact theatre leaves on our carbon footprint and feel that waste is not a “necessary evil” for producing quality theatre. Rather than building an entire set and creating several elaborate costumes for each production, we explore simple, creative solutions that are cost effective, eco-friendly and engage the imagination of the audience.
Reviews
"Astute and uproarious!" - The Huffington Post
"Eve Danzeisen sparkles as Trish, finding shading and passion in a character constructed of attitudes and slogans." - Backstage
The Body Politic is heavy on clever repartee and accurately reflects the key issues that lead to such a large divide between political parties. Danzeisen and Boston both shine in their roles, using enough well-executed comedic timing to milk laughter from every joke." - Theatre is Easy
