Insurgent Theatre

Insurgent Theatre strives to connect performing arts with radical struggles, to make theatre that is relevant, engaging, challenging and useful for those who confront the US police state and global capitalist empire. We've been making original theatre since 2003 and frequently touring the country since August, 2008. Insurgent was founded in Milwaukee, WI, but is now located in Columbus, OH.

PROJECTS:

	In the Belly is an experimental play about the US prison industrial complex. See past and upcoming dates here. Details here! Presskit (PDF)
	An interactive look at creating theatre using collaboration, experimentation and tiny budgets. more info.
	ACAB is a new play, about the american police force, currently in the writing and development stages. We expect it to be ready for performance by spring of 2012.
	We work closely with RedBird Prison Abolition here in Columbus, incorporating theatre into fundraising events, actions, and workshops around political prisoner solidarity and prison abolition. Read about our matching funds variety shows: Solidarity Showcase.
	We are still able to perform our hour long radical minimalist play, with notice, on request and with enough reason to make re-rehearsing it worth our time. Presskit (pdf) Tour Journal
	We're working on a new play! If Ulysses' Crewmen was an exploration of just how powerless we are, First Image is an exploration of what we must become to be powerful. It will be three episodes, technically and visually elaborate, and in many other ways completely different from Ulysses' Crewmen. Don't worry. It'll still be really intense. And violent.
