As a company we prize artistic risk, civic engagement, and diversity. We are drawn to plays that ask difficult, complex or surprising questions about what we believe and how we behave; that examine timely issues from multiple and/or unusual points of view; that reflect the increasing diversity of our local, national and global community; that engage both the heart and mind; and that illuminate the struggle between individual humanity and the larger forces of society.

    “ InterAct Theatre Company developed SETTLE DOWN as part of our 8th Annual Core Playwrights Weekend in December 2020. In this play, Briyana writes with clear eyes about the marginalization, inequity and cruelty of our world--but they do so not by indulging trauma but by painting stories of hope, love, community and possibility, all while making you laugh out loud. We are proud to have contributed to the life of this piece. ”

  • French Pig by David Jacobi
    4 Jan. 2021
    “ InterAct Theatre Company presented FRENCH PIG as part of our 7th Annual Core Playwrights Weekend in December 2019. In this serrated, strange, hysterical dark comedy, David reflects on how the justice system privileges and punishes strictly along class lines, and refracts that into a meditation on how our social circumstances color and crush our sense of purpose. We are proud to have contributed to the life of this piece. ”
