The Stars are aligning at the Theater of the Seventh Sister
Theater of the Seventh Sister exists to produce professional theater: classics, new and contemporary plays, experimental theatrical forms, education, and outreach programs. It is a fusion of professional artists whose mission is to speak to an increasingly diverse and multi-cultural community. It believes that theater is a vehicle for spiritual, emotional, and social sharing, a medium that enriches and enlivens our perceptions of ourselves and our place in time and affirms theater as an integral part of the human experience. Theater of the Seventh Sister is dedicated to ever-growing artistic quality, to mutual support of each artist and to humane, non-exploitative management of the company. Why Seventh Sister? According to Greek mythology, when Troy was destroyed, six of the sister stars in the constellation Pleiades dimmed their lights, grieving the loss of a great civilization. The seventh sister, however, was so profoundly affected that she turned her gaze to the heavens, seeking an alternative vision for mankind. The plays we choose to present are mankind's shared stories; in telling them we are inspired by that star – the seventh sister – who turned her gaze to the heavens, seeking ways to create a better human community.
This is our journey!
