Everyone has the capacity for creation.
At Capacity Theatre Company, we believe that everyone has the capacity for creation.
We all experience life through a different lens, that lens then creates the world from a unique point of view and if it happens in life it can happen on stage. We are committed to creativity, inclusivity, diversity, and acceptance. Our work will share the lenses of people as they are.
