What we believe
We believe that that our heritage as Underrepresented people is born from our resilience in the face of oppression coupled with our pride, vitality, and joy. This makes us survivors, trailblazers, trendsetters, pioneers, and innovators.there is an essential movement afoot - a movement towards the addressing systems that left many voices at the edges of mainstream culture. Prime Mover Theatre Company is dedicated to the advancement of those artistic voices through advocacy, artist training, and large-scale co-production.
What we do.
“We celebrate the vitality and joy of the human spirit that is bred by facing the pain of adversity.”
