Idle Muse Theatre Company

Idle Muse Theatre Company Transporting, Timely, True. Mission
We are a 501c3 non-profit Charity organization that produces theatre which is Transporting, Timely and True.

History & Vision
Idle Muse Theatre Company was established in 2006 by theatre artists interested in exploring the relationship between individuals and the worlds they inhabit. Seeking to create production opportunities for themselves and other artists, we believed the best way was to build a modern β€˜guild’ of players in an environment where theatre artists of different experiences and backgrounds

could develop our craft and learn from each other. Today, IMTC remains focused on the following core values:

Transporting: We believe that great theatre removes both audience member and artist from their respective realities and transports them to another world. Timely: We believe that human connection can be accomplished through meaningful, relevant, and accessible storytelling here and now. True: We believe in unflinching honesty in our signature form of storytelling. Idle Muse Theatre Company would like to offer you a place to explore possibility, have moments of wonder, and become open to new worlds where art and life are the same; a place where all stories are unified into a singular, magical experience. We’re happy to have you with us on this next journey!
