MISSION

Ripe Time is a theatre company devoted to producing ensemble driven theatre infused with rich language, visual power and physical rigor. We create performance that pulls from both dance and theatre, developing work collaboratively with our ensemble of artists over extended development periods. Our work ranges from company-created original works, to new adaptations of novels or stories, to dynamic stagings of classic plays. We believe in the extraordinary potential of a dynamic ensemble to offer audiences new and engaging perspectives on the world around us.

exchange
Ensemble-based, collaboratively created theatre has its own tradition in American experimental theatre. Ripe Time sponsors Ripe Time Exchange, a series of panel discussions with cutting-edge academics, artists and writers to create a dialogue about this tradition, as well as discussing topics that connect to themes within our featured works.

classes
Ripe Time Studio offers training for actors, writers and directors in movement, voice, performance, clown, and the creation of new work.  Our classes are taught by affiliated artists of the company and students are invited and encouraged to perform, or assist in the production, design, direction or dramaturgy of our main productions.
