As Hintonburg's theatre company, we produce live and lively theatre in beloved local gathering places.
We produce hand-picked non-corporate plays in intimate venues, adapting great works for small spaces, and creating truly original work inspired by the people we know and the place where we live.
Chamber theatre is a style of theatre production that invites the audience to experience great play up close. Text and performance supersede "tech".
We produce what our audiences demand: low-tech, highly polished entertainment. We pay our way on ticket sales, and we pay all our talent and crew. Equity and non, all are professional.
Historically, public houses have been a place for entertainment. We cultivate convergences of literature, architecture, history, and community. This is where we play.
