PRISM Theatre Company started from a partnership turned friendship between Trish and Joy. After working together on several projects, they found themselves eating sushi and talking about what they could bring to the St. Louis theatre community. They began collaborating with other local artists to discuss what opportunities a new theatre company could provide. Many agreed that substantial opportunities for women and emerging artists, both onstage and off, were scarce. And thus, at a Starbucks in Webster Groves, PRISM Theatre Company was born.
As PRISM has grown through the years, we've expanded our view of our organization's mission. To us, the arts play a vital role in shining a light on issues for the purpose of awakening thought. We also believe in providing substantial opportunities for women and emerging artists. Our goal is to work with kind, collaborative, like-minded artists who share this vision. Additionally, PRISM provides an atmosphere of inclusivity, where artists from all walks of life can come together to tell important stories, both new and familiar, that explore our common humanity.
At PRISM Theatre Company, we shine a light on the human condition and uplift it while building a bigger stage for the work of women and emerging artists. We produce both new and classic works in an atmosphere where kindness, collaboration and inclusivity are at the forefront of all we do, and where artists from all walks of life can come together to explore our common humanity.
Prism is creative collaboration without the cliques.
