Wilma Theater
The Wilma Theater creates living, adventurous art. We engage artists and audiences in imaginative reflection on the complexities of contemporary life. We present bold, original, well-crafted productions that represent a range of voices, viewpoints, and styles.
The Wilma produces contemporary theater. We create visceral art that expands individual and communal identities. We lead with our hearts to create evocative, imperfect, awe-inspiring experiences.
To speak the language of theater, we embrace a cohesive world of elements that share equal importance: urgent text, embodied performance, visionary directing, bold design, and an authentic connection with the audience. We embrace the social contract between performers and audience, built on the vital need for active dialogue, and the acceptance and anticipation of the unknown.
Curiosity drives our artistic evolution. We embrace the vibrant interplay of cultures, languages, and ideas, recognizing the potency of divergent perspectives.
Collaboration is a superpower and the best friend of process. Our resident acting company, the HotHouse, rigorously trains to develop intimacy, openness, and expressiveness which has been a hallmark of the Wilma stage.
Our work is a catalyst for catharsis, a catalyst for conversation, and a catalyst for change.
