We create works of theatre, from conception to production. We make experimental theatre - we investigate problems and questions in theatre in hopes of achieving artistic innovation. We are an ensemble company. We make our work collectively and consider all artists involved in a project equally essential to that project. We believe that actors are creative artists. Our process for each production is unique to that production.
After premiering in St. Louis with "Make Hamlet" in 2014, ERA continues to create and present new plays throughout the St. Louis region. Notable productions include: "R+J: A Telephone Play," "The Residents of Craigslist," "Faust," "Antigone: requiem per Patriarchus," "Trash Macbeth" (Outstanding Production nominee, St. Louis Theater Circle), "The Brechtfast Club", and "Romanov Family Yard Sale" (Outstanding Ensemble in a Comedy, St. Louis Theatre Circle Award Winner).
ERA's mission is to use the elements unique to theatre's identity to expand the possibilities for what that art form can be and challenge our community's expectations for meaning in theatre, art, and the world. We root ourselves in the belief that all theatre's components are equal and that innovation stems from experimentation.
