AREA STAGE COMPANY

“Area is and was one of the first really adventurous avant-garde theater companies. It offered a tailored-made theater concept and attitude that helped galvanized a real interest in theater.” The Miami Herald

Mission

To create world-class theatrical productions that help tear down barriers and bridge cultural gaps; to emphasize our similarities and to encourage an appreciation of our differences. ASC will be a microcosm of Miami’s new cultural diversity, presenting productions in English and  Spanish, in addition to a line up of dance, music, poetry, and art.

“ standards of acting, direction and design that have eclipsed those at many larger theatres.”

The Miami Herald
