The room darkens. The crowd, now seated, quiets down. As the curtain rises, all eyes are focused on the liminal space that is – the stage. On the best days, what follows is more than memorable; it is transcendent. The story delivered to the crowd transports them, if only for a few moments, into a new perspective, takes them to another place. This is the transformative experience that theatre can provide.

 

It is a mystery that while so many newer and more available forms of storytelling live in the world, live theatre still has this impact. But for anyone who has experienced it, the impact is undeniable, palpable. An art form as ancient as humanity - still able to move us so powerfully.

 

THEATRICO is a cohort of Chattanooga artists passionate about producing high-quality theatre. Theatre that not only entertains but educates and supports our communities. We believe in the spell that is cast when performers and audiences gather in the same space, allowing something to happen that goes beyond the transfer of sight and sound. It is the mystical sharing of experiences that leaves us different.
