our mission:

EXPLORE. CHALLENGE. ENTERTAIN.

OnWord Theatre firmly believes in the notion that theatre is the very reflection of society.


We are dedicated to producing classic works visualized through a contemporary lens, ​contemporary works rooted in our past, and new works highlighting our collective path forward.


We are artistic contributors who are guided by passion, social relevance, and multi-accessibility ​regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.


OnWord Theatre seeks to produce works that are thought-provoking with an aim to illuminate ​the complexities of the human experience while sparking critical dialogue and awareness at the ​highest levels of professionalism and integrity.
