History

Mixed Company Theatre began as an artist-run collective in 1983, producing important, contemporary plays that featured social commentary in an engaging and entertaining way.

Our reach has expanded considerably since then, as have our audiences. But our commitment to using theatre as a tool for positive change has remained the same. A globally recognized Centre of Forum Theatre since 1992, Mixed Company Theatre today partners with schools, corporations and community organizations across Canada and around the world.

"The Mixed Company initiative lit a fire of creativity in the eight staff members who collaborated on the script and courageously performed four real life scenarios about the every day work of front line staff. This approach stimulated discussion about difficult issues in an atmosphere of "no blame" and led to concrete actions we can apply in the workplace."

-- Director, Organizational Development, Toronto Community Housing
