About Fiasco

The mission of Fiasco Theater is to offer dynamic, actor-driven, joyful productions of classic and new plays, and to offer high-level theatrical training through classes and workshops. Our goal is
to create a new model of fiscal sustainability whereby we remunerate our artists for their valuable work and offer our performances and training at low or no cost to our audiences and students.
Why Fiasco?
Legend has it the word “fiasco” was first used to describe a commedia dell’arte performance that went horribly (and hilariously) wrong. While we hope to avoid on-stage disasters, we do believe that only when artists are brave enough to risk a fiasco can they create the possibility of something special. We chose the name Fiasco to remind ourselves to brave the huge leaps in the hopes of discovering huge rewards.
