We are an ensemble of citizen/artists.We use our craft to provoke discussion, raise awareness and inspire our audiences to embrace a socially just world. We exist to make challenging, demanding and, above all, entertaining theatre and we have been doing it since 1983.
We are committed to taking on “impossible” projects, on stage and in the community.
The kind that scare us a little bit and challenge us a lot. We present work that speaks to what is happening in the world now—today—no matter when it was written.
Since 1983 Irondale has been a theatre of research and inquiry. Once a week Jim, our co-founder & artistic director, writes a letter to our audience sharing what is on his mind. Topics span anything and everything from theatre, music, and art to history and current events, to baseball.
By supporting Irondale, you are supporting Art, Education and Social Justice--all of which are at the core of what we do. We depend on you and we are strengthened by your generosity.
Whether you are a new friend or a longtime supporter, we welcome you on our journey.
